Answer:

Mn Mn2+ + 2 e-

Since manganese is a transition metal, it is not possible to predict its ion charge from its group number. The charge on the ion is given by the roman numeral in its name. The charge is therefore +2

The symbol for the manganese(II) ion is therefore Mn2+ .

Mn has an atomic number of 25 , with 25 protons and 25 electrons in the neutral atom. In order for the ion to carry a charge of +2 it must have 2 more protons than it does electrons, so the atom must lose 2 electrons .

Josefina and Raul were comparing how sound moves through various mediums and how charge moves through conducting wires. They per

Fed [463]

They found that difference occurs in the speed of both sound and charges occur due to the difference in the type of medium.

Sound and charges needs specific medium for faster movement i.e. sound moves faster in solid as compared to liquid and gas whereas charges moves faster and easily in gold due to lower resistance which is followed by copper. Sound can move from solid, liquid and gases whereas charges move only in solid metal in which free electrons are present. The speed of sound and flow of current are affected due to difference in the arrangement of atoms in solid, liquid and gas.

Answer:

0.8749 grams of hydrogen gas was formed from the reaction.

Explanation:

P = Pressure of hydrogen gad= 744 Torr = 0.98 atm

(1 atm = 760 Torr)

V = Volume of hydrogen gas= 11 L

n = number of moles of hydrogen gas= ?
