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

n for the oxidation of the manganese in MnCO3 to MnO2 in neutral groundwater where the principal carbonate species is HCO3–. Add H2O, H+, and electrons as needed to balance the half-reaction.

Answer:

MnCO3 + 2H2O ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

Explanation:

<u>The</u> unbalanced equation

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-

In MnCO3, the oxidation number of Mn is +2

In Mno2, the oxidation number of Mn is +4

The change from +2 to +4 requires an addition of  2 electrons (to the right side).

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e-

The total charge now is -3 on the right side. To balance this we add 3 hydrogen atoms on the right side.

MnCO3 ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

On the right side we have 4 hydrogen atoms in total. On the left side we have 0 hydrogen atoms. So to balance, we have to add 2H2O on the left side

MnCO3 + 2H2O ⇄ MnO2  + HCO3-  + 2e- +3H+

Now the reaction is balanced.

How do researchers select a sample that is representative of its population
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Using stratified random sampling, researchers must identify characteristics, divide the population into strata, and proportionally choose individuals for the representative sample. ... For example, individuals who are too busy to participate will be under-represented in the representative sample.

The force of 20 N acts upon a 5kg block. What is the acceleration of the block?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 4 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

where

a is the acceleration

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question

f = 20 N

m = 5 kg

We have

a =  \frac{20}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
