The oxidation state of the compound Mn (ClO4)3 is to be determined in this problem. For oxygen, the charge is 2-, the total considering its number of atoms is -24. Mn has a charge of +3. TO compute for Mn, we must achieve zero charge overall hence 3+3x-24=0 where x is the Cl charge. Cl charge, x is +7.

Answer:

Mn: 3+

Cl: 7+

O: 2-

Explanation:

1) Compound given: Mn [ClO₄]₃

2) Initially you only know the oxidation state of O, since it is always 2-, except when it form peroxides, which is not the case.

3) So, you do not know the oxidation states neither of the Mn nor of the Cl, and you need some more information.

You might start from the ion [ClO₄] but you do not know its charge.

This ion comes from one of the oxoacids formed by Cl. Those are four different acids. These are them:

i) Oxidation state 1+: Cl₂O + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₂ = HClO ⇒ ion ClO⁻

ii) Oxidation state 3+: Cl₂O₃ + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₄ = HClO₂ ⇒ ion ClO₂⁻

iii) Oxidation state 5+: Cl₂O5 + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₆ = HClO₃ ⇒ ion ClO₃⁻

iv) Oxidation state 7+: Cl₂O₇ + H₂O → H₂Cl₂O₈ = HClO₄ ⇒ ion ClO₄⁻

Finally, we have that our ion is ClO₄⁻ and the oxidation state of Cl is 7+.

4) Now you just have to find the oxidation state of Mn, for which you make a balance of charges:

Mn [ClO₄]₃

Since, the ion ClO₄⁻ has 1 negative charge, and there are 3 ions the total negative charge is 3-. Since the compound is neutral, you conclude that Mn has oxidation state 3+.

That according to this balance: 1(3+) + 3(1-) + 3 - 3 = 0.

5) Summarizing, the oxidation states are:

Mn: 3+

Cl: 7+

O: 2-

53. A firefighter of mass 80 kg slides down a vertical pole
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

Answer is given below:

Explanation:

<em>Given Data:</em>

mass = 80kg

acceleration = 4 ms

force = 800N

<em>Find out:</em>

friction = ?

<em>Formula</em><em>:</em>

F-friction = weight - f-net

<em>Solution:</em>

weight = (80)(10)

           = 800 N

F-net = ma =(80)(4) = 320N

F-friction = weight - F-net

               =800 N - 320N

               =480N

<em>Answer</em> :

Friction = 480 N

A cylinder rod formed from silicon is 21.3 cm long and has a mass of 5.00 kg. The density of silicon is 2.33 g/cm3. What is the
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

11.32cm

Explanation:

This question describes a cylinder rod formed from silicon with length 21.3cm and mass 5kg. The density of the silicon is 2.33g/cm3.

To calculate the diameter, the radius is needed. To calculate the radius, the volume is needed. To calculate the volume, the formula: density = mass (m) / volume (V) is used.

Mass = 5kg, which is 5 kg × 1000g = 5000g

Density= 2.33g/cm3

Hence; volume= mass / density

= 5000/2.33

= 2145.9 cm3

Volume of cylinder= πr^2h

Where h= 21.3cm and π= 3.142

That is; r^2 = volume/πh

= r^2 = 2145.9/3.142×21.3

= r^2 = 2145.9/66.9246

= r^2 = 32.06

r= √32.06

r= 5.66cm

If radius of the cylinder is 5.66cm, the diameter is twice of the radius.

That is, diameter (d) = 5.66 × 2

= 11.32 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the cylinder is 11.32cm.

Considering what you now know about charles law make a prediction based on the follwong sittutaion what would happen to the volu
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The volume of the gas got doubled.

Explanation:

Charle's law  states that the volume of an ideal gas is direclty proportional to the absolute temperature.

Thus, V ∝ T

Or,

\frac {V_1}{T_1}=\frac {V_2}{T_2}

<u>If the bottle is heated to the double of the temperature, the volume of the gas also gets doubled.</u>
