is the element Silicon.
The key to deciphering this is to look at the last bit of information of the electron configuration

p

.
The '3' informs us that the element is in the 3rd Energy Level or row of the periodic table. The 'p' tells us that the element is found in the p-block which are all of the Groups to the right of the transition metals, columns 13-18. The superscript '2' tells us that the element is found in the 2nd column of the p-block Group 14.
That would be true, since most other stats include helium, calcium, etc
If you start with 0.30 m Mn₂ , at 12.5 pH, free Mn₂ concentration be equal to 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹ m
Initial molarity of Mn₂ = 0.30 M
Final molarity of Mn₂ = 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹
pH = ?
Ksp [Mn(OH)₂] = 4.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ (standard value)
Write the ionic equation
Mn(OH)₂ → Mn⁺² + 2OH⁻
[Mn⁺²] = 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹
We will calculate the concentration of OH⁻ by using Ksp expression
Ksp = [Mn⁺²][OH-]²
[Mn⁺²][OH⁻]² = 4.6 x 10⁻¹⁴
[OH⁻]² = 4.6 x 10⁻¹⁴ / 4.6 x 10⁻¹¹
[OH⁻]² = 10⁻³
[OH⁻] = (10⁻³)¹⁽²
[OH⁻] = 0.0316 M
Calculate the pOH
pOH = -log [OH⁻]
pOH = -log [0.0316]
pOH = 1.5
Now calculate pH
pH = 14 - pOH
pH = 14 - 1.5
pH = 12.5
