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!

The metal sodium is obtained by electrolysis of common table salt (sodium chloride, nacl). how much sodium chloride needs to be
Bogdan [553]
Solve first for the number of moles of sodium given that the mass is 2500 g by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of sodium. 
                         moles sodium = 2500 g / 23 g/mol
                               moles sodium = 108.7 moles
Since in every mole of NaCl, there is only one mole of sodium then, we conclude that there are also 108.7 moles of NaCl. Multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sodium chloride (58.44), the answer would be 6,352.17 grams.

Which must an animal do in order for cellular respiration to begin?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Eat food

Explanation:

Food contain protein, carbohydrates, fats etc. These nutrients undergoes metabolic process and produced energy in cellular respiration.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.
