Answer:

Mn is gaining electrons.

Explanation:

Let us consider the oxidation state of each element in the given equation.

a) H in HCl : +1

b) Mn in MnO₂ : +4

c) Mn in MnCl₂ : +2

d) H in H₂O : +1

e) Cl in Cl₂ : 0

There is a decrease in oxidation number of Mn from MnO₂ to MnCl₂.

Thus Mn is gaining electrons in the reaction.

Mn is undergoing reduction in the process and chlorine is undergoing oxidation.

Hey there!:

HCl + MnO2 → MnCl2 + H2O + Cl2

* in HCl the oxidation state of Cl is -1 .

* on the product side the oxidation state is 0 .

* therefore Cl gains electrons .

* in  MnO2 the oxidation state of Mn is +4

* in MnCl2 the oxidation state of Mn is +2

Therefore Mn loses electrons

Answer A

Hope That helps!

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

In order to prepare 10 mL, 5 μM; <em> 2 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted with water up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 10 μM; <em>4 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 15 μM; <em>6 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 20 μM; <em>8 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

Explanation:

Using the dilution equation:

no of moles before dilution = no of moles after dilution.

Molarity x volume (initial)= Molarity x volume (final).

In order to prepare 10 mL, 5 μM from 25 μM solution,

Final molarity = 5 μM, final volume = 10 mL, initial molarity = 25 μM, initial volume = ?

25 x initial volume = 5 x 10

Initial volume = 50/25

                       = 2 mL

<em>2 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

<em />

In order to prepare 10 mL, 10 μM from 25 μM stock,

25 x initial volume = 10 x 10

Initial volume = 100/25 = 4 mL

<em>4 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 15 μM from 25 μM stock,

25 x initial volume = 15 x 10

initial volume = 150/25 = 6 mL

<em>6 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 20 μM from 25 μM stock,

25 x initial volume = 20 x 10

initial volume = 200/25 = 8 mL

<em>8 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

What is the difference between mass and weight?
Olin [163]

Explanation:

The mass of an object is a measure of the object's inertial property, or the amount of matter it contains. The weight of an object is a measure of the force exerted on the object by gravity, or the force needed to support it. The pull of gravity on the earth gives an object a downward acceleration of about 9.8 m/s2.
