For an optical instrument, the aperture is the diameter of the objective lens (refracting telescope) or the primary mirror (reflecting telescope). The larger the aperture, the more light the telescope can gather, and the fainter the limiting magnitude of the instrument.

he mineral rhodochrosite [manganese(II) carbonate, MnCO3] is a commercially important source of manganese. Write a half-reaction

valina [46]

Answer:

$MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$

Explanation:

Half reaction: $MnCO_{3}\rightarrow MnO_{2}$

(1) $CO_{3}$ balance: $MnCO_{3}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}$

(2)H and O balance in acidic medium: $MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$

(3) charge balance: $MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$

Hence balanced half-reaction: $MnCO_{3}+2H_{2}O-2e^{-}\rightarrow MnO_{2}+HCO_{3}^{-}+3H^{+}$
