Answer:

5PbO₂ + 2MnSO₄ + 6HNO₃ ⟶ 2PbSO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HMnO₄+ 2H₂O

Explanation:

PbO₂ + MnSO₄ + HNO₃ ⟶ HMnO₄ + PbSO₄ + Pb(NO₃)₂ + H₂O

It will be easiest to balance this equation by the ion-electron method.

1. Write the ionic equation

PbO₂ + Mn²⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ + NO₃⁻ ⟶ H⁺ + MnO₄⁻ + Pb²⁺ + SO₄²⁻ + Pb²⁺ + NO₃⁻ + H₂O

2. Eliminate H⁺, H₂O, and spectator ions

PbO₂ + Mn²⁺ ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + Pb²⁺

3. Separate the skeleton equation into two half-reactions.

PbO₂ ⟶ Pb²⁺

Mn²⁺ ⟶ MnO₄⁻

4. Balance all atoms other than H and O

Done

5. Balance O by adding water molecules to the deficient side

PbO₂ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O

Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻

6. Balance H by adding H⁺ ions to the deficient side.

PbO₂+ 4H⁺ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O

Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺

7. Balance charge by adding electrons to the deficient side.

PbO₂+ 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O

Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e-

8. Multiply each half-reaction by a number to equalize the electrons transferred.

5 × [PbO₂+ 4H⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Pb²⁺ + 2H₂O]

2 × [Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O ⟶ MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻]

9. Add the two half-reactions.

5PbO₂+ 20H⁺ + 10e⁻ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 10H₂O

2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O ⟶ 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻

5PbO₂ + 2Mn² + 8H₂O + 20H⁺ + 10e⁻⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 10H₂O + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻

10. Cancel species that occur on each side of the equation

5PbO₂ + 2Mn² + 8H₂O + 20H⁺ + 10e⁻ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 10H₂O + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻

becomes

5PbO₂ + 2Mn²⁺ + 4H⁺ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 2H₂O

11. Add the missing spectator ions

5PbO₂ + 2Mn²⁺ + 4H⁺ ⟶ 5Pb²⁺ + 2MnO₄⁻ + 2H₂O

+ 2SO₄²⁻ + 4NO₃⁻ + 2H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ +2SO₄²⁻ + 6NO₃⁻ + 2H⁺

becomes

5PbO₂ + 2MnSO₄ + 6HNO₃ ⟶ 2PbSO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HMnO₄ + 2H₂O

12. Check that all atoms are balanced.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\textbf{Atom} & \textbf{On the left} & \textbf{On the right}\\\text{Pb} & 5 & 5\\\text{O} & 36 & 36\\\text{S} & 2 & 2\\\text{H} & 6 & 6\\\text{N} & 6 & 6\\\end{array}$

Everything checks. The balanced equation is

5PbO₂ + 2MnSO₄ + 6HNO₃ ⟶ 2PbSO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2HMnO₄ + 2H₂O

How many chiral centers does clavulanic acid have?

VikaD [51]

Answer:

Clavulanic acid has two (2) chiral centers.

Explanation:

A chiral center is a center (usually carbon) with four different substituents.

The structure of clavulanic acid is shown in the attachment below.

Consider the labeled diagram in the attachment,

Carbon A is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon B is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Carbon C is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon D is a chiral carbon because it has four different substituents

Carbon E is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon F is not a chiral carbon because it has only three atoms directly attached to it

Carbon G is not a chiral carbon because it has two hydrogen atoms attached to it

Carbon H is not a chiral carbon because it has only three substituents

Then, only carbons C and D are chiral carbons.

Hence, clavulanic acid have two (2) chiral centers.

What is A collection of waves called

sattari [20]

When waves act together, you talk about "interference". When they reinforce each other, it is "constructive interference". When they cancel each other, it is "destructive interference".

If anyone is good at chemistry do you mind helping? (●'◡'●)

stepladder [879]

• Before the balloon was placed inside the hot water, the pressure was the same inside and outside the balloon. The hot water raised the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the balloon, expanding the balloon, through thermal expansion.

• (1) the pressure of air inside the balloon increased, (2) the volume of the inside of the balloon increased as well, and (3) the temperature of the balloon increased. Note that pressure and volume are inversely proportional, and pressure and temperature are directly proportional. Therefore as the temperature increases, the pressure inside will increase, causing an increase in the volume. At a certain point though the volume will increase too much as to cause a significant decrease in pressure.

• The air molecules will gain kinetic energy, hence (1) increasing the molecules's speed, and (2) heating the air molecules.
