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
The answer is B i know this because i just took it

Answer:
Answer below
Explanation:
Physical changes dont change the chemical makeup of an object. An example would be to tear a piece of paper. Tearing the paper doesnt change how the paper was made chemically
Chemical changes on the other hand do change the chemical makeup of an object. An example of a chemical change would be to bake a cake. The reason being that the chemical makeup of the cake batter is changed so that the actual cake is formed.

Answer:</h3>
7.226 × 10^23 molecules.
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- A compound is a substance that is made by two or more atoms from different elements.
- A mole of a compound contains a number of molecules equivalent to Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10^23.
- That is, one mole of a compound contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.
In this case we are given;
Number of moles of H₂O as 1.2 moles
But, 1 mole of H₂O contains 6.022 × 10^23 molecules.
We are required to calculate the number of molecules present;
- To calculate the number of molecules we are going to multiply the number of molecules in one mole by the number of moles.
Number of molecules = 1.2 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole
= 7.226 × 10^23 molecules.
Thus, 1.2 moles of water contains 7.226 × 10^23 molecules.
