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!

Why H +ve acts as lewus acid? Why NH3 acts as bronsted-lowery base? Why BF3 acts as Lewis acid? Make it easy and simple.. ✨
Delvig [45]

Explanation:

Unlike the traditional definition of defining acid as any substance that can react with a base to form salt and water, there are two other definition of acid.

These are lewis acid and bronsted lowry acid.

Lewis acid is any substance that can accept a pair of non bonding electrons. This is why H+ is able to as a lewis acid.

Bronsted lowry definition on the other hand is as follows; A brosted lowry acid is any species that can donate a proton to another molecule. A bronsted lowry base is any specie that can accept a proton from another molecule. NH3 is able to accept a proton, hence it is termed as a bronsted lowry base.

BF3 act as a lewis acid because it can accept accept a pair of non bonding electrons. Generally; an atom, ion, or molecule with an incomplete octet of electrons can act as an Lewis acid.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

            No, in science their meanings are not the same as their everyday meanings.

Explanation:

                   In Science, Precision and Accuracy are defined as,

Accuracy:

               Accuracy is the value which is closest to the known or standard value.

Precision:

                While, Precision is the value of closeness of two measured values to each other.

Example:

             Let suppose in Chemistry Lab you weight an object as 50 g. While the actual weight of that object is 30 g. It means your reading is not accurate.

             On second measurement you find that the object weight is 31 g. This time your reading is not precise.
