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!

faust18 [17]

Answer:

P₂ = 3.86 atm .

Explanation:

We assume that during this change , the temperature of the gas remains constant .

So the gas will obey Boyle's law .

P₁ V₁ = P₂V₂

5.08 x 7.56 = P₂ x 9.94

P₂ = 3.86 atm .

Using knowledge of intermolecular forces, explain why the yellow food coloring mixed with the water and the acetone was able to
Papessa [141]

The yellow coloring is a polar substance hence it dissolve in water. Blue dye is nonpolar hence it dissolves in less polar acetone.

In chemistry, there is a general rule that like dissolves like. A substance can only dissolve in another if there is some kind of intermolecular interaction between the substances.

The yellow food coloring is a polar substance hence it is able to dissolve in water which is a polar solvent. The blue dye is a nonpolar substance hence it dissolve in acetone which is a less polar solvent.

what mass of silver chloride can be produced from 1.11 l of a 0.156 m solution of silver nitrate? express your answer with the a
tangare [24]

The mass of silver chloride produced is 24.79g.

Given,

volume = 1.11 L

Molarity = 0.156 M

First, convert molarity to moles by multiplying by the volume:

0.156 M AgNO3 = (0.156 moles AgNO3)/1 L x 1.11 L = 0.173 moles AgNO3

We are only interested in AgCl, not AgNO3. We convert moles of silver nitrate to moles of silver chloride using the balanced equation. This is a 1:1 conversion:

0.173 moles AgNO3 x (1 mole AgCl)/(1 mole AgNO3) = 0.173 moles AgCl

To get mass from moles, we multiply by the molar mass:

0.173 moles AgCl x (143.32 g/mol) =  24.79 g AgCl
