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.

Which element does this atom represent?
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct = fluorine

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

This diagram show that there are 9 electrons and 9 protons are present. We know that the number of protons or electrons are atomic number of that element. From periodic table we know that atomic number of fluorine is 9 thus the given atom present fluorine atom.
