Answer:

c. 8, product side

Explanation:

In order to balance a redox reaction we use the ion-electron method, which has the following steps:

Step 1: identify oxidation and reduction half-reaction.

Oxidation: MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq)

Reduction: Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l)

Step 2: perform the mass balance adding H⁺ and H₂O where necessary

8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l)

Step 3: perform the electrical balance adding electrons where necessary.

8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l) + 2 e⁻

Step 4: multiply both half-reactions by numbers that secure that the number of electrons gained and lost are the same.

2 × (8 H⁺(aq) + MnO₄⁻(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l))

5 × (2 Br⁻(aq) → Br₂(l) + 2 e⁻)

Step 5: add both half-reactions side to side.

16 H⁺(aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 10 e⁻ + 10 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 Br₂(l) + 10 e⁻

16 H⁺(aq) + 2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 10 Br⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 Br₂(l)

Question 23 (3 points)
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 3.0 mL</h2>

Explanation:

The volume of a substance when given the density and mass can be found by using the formula

volume =  \frac{mass}{density}  \\

From the question

mass of aluminum = 8.1 g

density = 2.7 g/mL

It's volume is

volume =  \frac{8.1}{2.7}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.0 mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
