Answer:
Manganese (Mn)
Explanation:
We know it's manganese because we are told it is an electrically neutral atom. This means it has the same number of protons and electrons. If it has 25 electrons, it has 25 protons. Protons tell us the atomic number of the atom, which also tells us the name of the element. Manganese is element 25 on the periodic table.
Nascent oxygen has much higher reactivity than the oxygen bubbled through the reaction mixture. It doesn't stay nascent for long (you are right about it being converted quick to just O2), which is why it has to be generated in situ
Answer:
58.443 g/mol
Explanation:
The molar mass of NaCl is the sum of the molar masses of the individual atoms:
Na: 22.989770 g/mol
Cl: 35.453 g/mol
The total molar mass is ...
NaCl: 58.443 g/mol
__
The molar mass does not depend on whether the material is in solution or in any other form.
Group 1 elements (usually called alkali metals) are not very electronegative and have small ionization energies due to that. The reason why they are not very electronegative is that they really want to loose their one valence electron so that they can have a noble gas electron configuration (completed octet).
I hope this helps.
