This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

Manganese commonly occurs in nature as a mineral. The extraction of manganese from the carbonite mineral rhodochrosite, involves a two-step process. In the first step, manganese (II) carbonate and oxygen react to form manganese (IV) oxide and carbon dioxide:

$2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)$

In the second step, manganese (IV) oxide and aluminum react to form manganese and aluminum oxide:

$3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)$

Write the net chemical equation for the production of manganese from manganese (II) carbonate, oxygen and aluminum. Be sure your equation is balanced.

Answer : The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

Explanation :

The given two chemical reactions are:

(1) $2MnCO_3(s)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+2CO_2(g)$

(2) $3MnO_2(s)+4Al(s)\rightarrow 3Mn(s)+2Al_2O_3(s)$

First we are multiplying reaction 1 by 3, and reaction 2 by 2, we get:

(1)

(2) $6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

Now we are adding both the reactions, we get the overall chemical reaction.

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+6MnO_2(s)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6MnO_2(s)+6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

The $MnO_2$ is common on both side, by cancelling it, we get:

The net chemical equation for the production of manganese is:

$6MnCO_3(s)+3O_2(g)+8Al(s)\rightarrow 6CO_2(g)+6Mn(s)+4Al_2O_3(s)$

Which is associated with a fission reaction? *

podryga [215]

Answer: Radioactive waste

Explanation:

The nuclear fission reaction consists of heavy atomic particles or heavy nucleus, like plutonium and uranium and in radioactive heavy metals. In the fission reaction the nucleus get split into equal masses of particles. This process is associated with release of large amount of energy. The fission of radioactive waste can cause deadly mutations in living beings.
