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!

In which situation is no work considered to be done by a force?
Masja [62]

If the angle is either 0 or 180, that means that there is either negative or positive work, so A and D are not correct.

If the angle is 45, then there is still some work involved.

The only option where there is no work done by a force is B. when the angle is between the force and displacement is 90.

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

I think the answer is 4) 41

Explanation:

APE= atomic number, proton and the electrons are the same number

MAN= mass = atomic number - neutrons

121 - 80 = 41

i haven't done this in a while so hope this helps :)

What is the wavelength of radiation that has a frequency
White raven [17]

Answer:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

Explanation:

The wavelenght of  a radiation is inversely proportional to its frequency. It can be estimated by the following formula:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

Where:

  • \lambda is the wavelenght
  • \nu is the frequency
  • c is the speed of light (arroung 300000 km/s)

I need HELP!!!<br><br> Do the benefits of nuclear power outweigh the risks?
Georgia [21]
While there is no such thing as 100 percent safe, having nuclear energy is much safer than you think. It's thousands of times safer than conventional coal and other fossil-fuel-derived energy, not to mention the specter of environmental disaster from continued use of carbon-based energy sources.
