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.

Answer:

B . Changing the material that the fluids container is made of

Explanation:

Changing the material of the container does not affect the pressure in a container whereas increasing the volume, changing the weight of the fluid, and heating/cooling the fluid will all change the pressure.

In an ionic compound, the size of the ions affects the internuclear distance (the distance between the centers of adjacent ions)
Elena L [17]

Answer:

RbI<RbBr<RbCl<RbF

Explanation:

As stated in the question, the latice energy depends on the relative size of the ions. When the action size is constant as in the question, the lattice energy now depends on the relative of the anions. The order of increase in ionic sizes among the halide ions is fluoride<Chloride<Bromide<Iodide. This order of increasing size means that the lattice energy will decrease accordingly as shown in the answer.
