Hey there,
It seems we do not have an image. Mind supplying us with one?
The answer choice is going to be B.
Answer:
1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)
Explanation:
Main reaction: 2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq)
In the oxidation half reaction, the oxidation number increases:
Mn changes from 0, in the ground state to Mn²⁺.
The reduction half reaction occurs where the element decrease the oxidation number, because it is gaining electrons.
Silver changes from Ag⁺ to Ag.
1. The oxidation half-reaction is: Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
2. The reduction half-reaction is: Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)
To balance the hole reaction, we need to multiply by 2, the second half reaction:
Mn(s) ⇄ Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
(Ag⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ ⇄ Ag(s)) . 2
2Ag⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s)
Now we sum, and we can cancel the electrons:
2Ag⁺(aq) + Mn(s) + 2e⁻ ⇄ 2Ag(s) + Mn²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻
Answer:
all good. tell me about your day
2.4212 X 10^ 7
How I at least figure this problem out is I take a pencil and start on the right side of the 0 and make a loop to the left for each number and count until I get to the first two numbers that are between 1-9 when reading from left to right. This is where you put the decimal point. Some teachers rather you keep the 0's there, while others prefer one to get rid of them. Anyways with that new decimal number, you multiply the decimal by ten to what ever number you counted, which was 7.
