Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

  • First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
  • Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
  • Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
  • If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
  • If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion (OH^-) at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
  • Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq) ......(1)

Oxidation : Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-  .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

There are three competing factors at play here: 1. The effective nuclear charge 2. The size of the atom and the force of attract
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

These three factors are required for ionization potential or ionization energy.

Explanation:

Ionization potential refers to the amount of energy which is required for the removal of outermost electron of the atom. If the atom size is big so the outermost electron is far from the nucleus and low energy is required for its removal due to lower force of attraction between nucleus and outermost electron. If the nuclear charge is higher, so the electron is tightly held by the nucleus and require more energy for its removal. Nuclear charge means number of protons present in the nucleus.

Why does water evaperate
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Explanation:

water evaporates because when h2o (water) particles heat up, they gain energy causing them to start to vibrate. this moves the oarticles further and further away from eachother and making the substance less dense, and turning it into a gas. meaning it has evaporated
