Answer:

2H⁺ + 2MnO4⁻ + 3CN⁻ → 2MnO₂  + H₂O + 3CNO⁻

Explanation:

CN⁻   +   MnO4⁻  →  CNO⁻   +   MnO₂

In right side permangante, with Mn element has +7 as oxidation number.

In the MnO₂, Mn acts with +4.

This is the half reaction of reduction, where the Mn has gained 3 electrons.

in right side, cianide with C element has +2 as oxidation number. In the anion cianate, C acts with +4.

The oxidation number has increased in this half reaction. It's oxidation where the C, has lost 2 elecontrons

( 4H⁺ + MnO4⁻ + 3e⁻  → MnO₂  + 2H₂O ) .2

(H₂O  +  CN⁻  →  CNO⁻  + 2e⁻  + 2H⁺) .3

I have to add water, to ballance the amount of oxygens and protons to ballance H, in the opposite side

To ballance the half reactions, I have to multiply x2 (reduction) and x3 (oxidation)  so I can cancel, the electrons.

2H⁺  +  2MnO4⁻ + 3CN⁻ → 2MnO₂  + H₂O + 3CNO⁻

The electrons are now cancelled, and I can also modify water. In reactant side I have 3H₂O and in product side, I have 4H₂O so, H₂O in right side is gone so I finally obtained 1 H₂O on left. I had 8H⁺ on right, and 6H⁺ on left, so finally I obtained 2H⁺ on right, and the protons of product side are gone.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air with a speed of 13 m/s. If the ball has
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

The total energy, i.e. sum of kinetic and potential energy, is constant.

i.e. E = KE + PE

Initially, PE = 0 and KE = 1/2 mv^2

At maximum height, velocity=0, thus, KE = 0 and PE = mgh

Since, total energy is constant (KE converts to PE when the ball is rising),

therefore, KE = PE 

or, 1/2 mv^2 = mgh

or, h = v^2 /2g = 13^2 / (2x9.8) = 8.622 m

Hope this helps.
