<span>Ammonia (NH3) is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen
elements.
=> N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3
Ammonia is basically used as a fertilizer. It is a gas composed of nitrogen and
hydrogen. It is colorless with strong odor. Here are some other uses of Ammonia
aside from fertilizer:
=> used by manufacturer to produce synthetic fiber
=> Used in metallurgical process
Ammonia can be decomposed easily and it produce hydrogen that is very
convenient in welding.
Ammonia’s boiling point is -28.03 F and freezing point is -107.8F.

The statement above is FALSE.
Temperature is the degree of coldness or hotness of a body while heat transfer is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another object. Temperature tells us how cold or hot a body is and it can be measured in Celsius, Kelvin or Fahrenheit. The thermometer is the instrument that is used in the measurement of temperature. Change in temperature is an important indicator that is used in various ways in humans and external systems.

Answer:
2MnO₄⁻ + 5Zn + 16H⁺ → 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O + 5Zn²⁺
Explanation:
To balance a redox reaction in an acidic medium, we simply follow some rules:
- Split the reaction into an oxidation and reduction half.
- By inspecting, balance the half equations with respect to the charges and atoms.
- In acidic medium, one atom of H₂O is used to balance up each oxygen atom and one H⁺ balances up each hydrogen atom on the deficient side of the equation.
- Use electrons to balance the charges. Add the appropriate numbers of electrons the side with more charge and obtain a uniform charge on both sides.
- Multiply both equations with appropriate factors to balance the electrons in the two half equations.
- Add up the balanced half equations and cancel out any specie that occur on both sides.
- Check to see if the charge and atoms are balanced.
Solution
Zn + MnO₄⁻ → Zn²⁺ + Mn²⁺
The half equations:
Zn → Zn²⁺ Oxidation half
MnO₄⁻ → Mn²⁺ Reduction half
Balancing of atoms(in acidic medium)
Zn → Zn²⁺
MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O
Balancing of charge
Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻
MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e⁻→ Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O
Balancing of electrons
Multiply the oxidation half by 5 and reduction half by 2:
5Zn → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻
2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻→ 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
Adding up the two equations gives:
5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ + 10e⁻ → 5Zn²⁺ + 10e⁻ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
The net equation gives:
5Zn + 2MnO₄⁻ + 16H⁺ → 5Zn²⁺ + 2Mn²⁺ + 8H₂O
