Answer:
A single compound is simultaneously oxidized and reduced.
Explanation:
In chemistry, disproportionation is a simultaneous oxidation and reduction of a single chemical specie.
What this means is that; in a disproportionation reaction, only one compound is both oxidized and reduced. This implies that two products are formed during disproportionation. One is the oxidized product while the other is the reduced product.
Consider the disproportionation of CuCl shown below;
2CuCl -----> CuCl2 + Cu
Here, CuCl2 is the oxidized product while Cu is the reduced product.
Explanation:
elctronic configuration of manganese
Mn=1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d⁵
ground state
Mn=Ar3d⁵4s²
note that Ar is argon
Answer:
Depends how much water and the temperature of the water. To heat 1 mL of water by 1 degree C 1 cal of energy (4.184 Joules) is required. Assuming that the water is at 25 degrees C, to boil one litre (liter) of water you would require 75,000 cal or 313.8 kJ.
