The reaction is 
Zn(s) + 2MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ⟶ Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

The reactants are Zn(s) and MnO₂(s) while Zn(OH)₂(s) and Mn₂O₃(s) products.

Let's see the oxidation state of each compound.
sum of the o.s. of the each element of compound = charge of the compound

O.s of O = -2
O.s of OH⁻ = -1

O.s of Zn(s) = 0

O.s of Mn in MnO₂(s) = x
         x + (-2) * 2 = 0
             x            = +4


O.s of Zn in Zn(OH)₂(s) = a
          a + (-1) * 2 = 0
                 a         = +2

O.s of Mn in Mn₂O₃(s) = b
          2*b + (-2) * 3 = b
                         2b   = 6
                           b   = +3
Since the O.s is reduced in Mn from +4 to +3, the reduced species is Mn₂O₃(s).

Answer:

Explanation:

the reaction is  

Zn(s) + 2MnO₂(s) + H₂O(l) ⟶ Zn(OH)₂(s) + Mn₂O₃(s)

This is the discharge reaction, where Zn is undergoing oxidation and Mn is undergoing reduction.

The anode reaction is:

Zn(s)+2OH^{-}(aq) ---> ZnO(s) + H_{2} O(l) + 2e

The cathode reaction is:

MnO_{2}(s)+H_{2}O(l)+2e--->Mn_{2}O_{3} }+2OH^{-}(aq)

Thus here MnO₂  is undergoing reduction (and the element undergoing reduction is Mn).

Answer:

n_{I^-}=3.11x10^{-4}molI^-

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is shown below:

H_2SO_4(aq)+PbI_2(aq)\rightarrow PbSO_4(s)+2HI(aq)

Thus, we obtain 0.0471 g of lead (II) sulfate, the iodide ions  in the original solution are computed below by stoichiometry, taking into account that into 1 mole of lead (II) iodide there are 2 moles of iodide ions:

n_{I^-}=0.0471gPbSO_4*\frac{1molPbSO_4}{303.26gPbSO_4}*\frac{1molPbI_2}{1molPbSO_4}*\frac{2molI^-}{1molPbI_2} \\n_{I^-}=3.11x10^{-4}molI^-

Best regards.

 why don't we ever see solid or liquid oxygen on earth?
NeTakaya
Please mark me brainiest!

The reason why you don’t see solid or liquid oxygen is because oxygen is a natural occurring gas. Gas can not be solid or liquid because there is too much energy to have volume/shape. That’s why you see oxygen tanks, as the tank keeps the gas contained and that is why you can’t see it in the air outside or in something like H20 (water).

Hope this helps :)

Just don’t open the link in the other answer. It’s a scam...

Which of these substances acts as a buffer? <br> a. blood <br> b. lemon juice <br> c. curd
il63 [147K]
<span>The correct answer is( A) blood.

when the buffer solution its PH value changes very little when a small amount 

of strong acid or base is added to it, and here the bicarbonate buffering system is used to regular the PH of the blood that keeping the PH at nearly constant value by maintaining the original acidity or basicity of the solution.</span>
