Answer: c. +4

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.  

Mn:25:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{5}

Mn^{4+}:21:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^1

O:8:1s^22s^22p^4

O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6

Here manganese is having an oxidation state of +4 called as  cation and oxygen forms an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged to give Mn_2O_4 which written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral MnO_2

What is the mass in grams of 85.32 mL of blood plasma with a density of 1.03 g/mL
sveticcg [70]
<span>Well if you're looking for grams, all you need to do is cancel out units. (ml)(g/ml)=g because the ml cancels out. Thus, multiply: (85.32ml)(1.03g/ml)=...I'll let you solve this. :) Good luck! Hope that helped. When in doubt, look at the units.</span>

Ill give brainliest if you answer right
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It'll be the same as 58.44 amu. This is because of the law of conservation of mass which states that total mass of reactants is always equal to the total mass of products formed.

pls give brainliest for the answer
