Answer:

$MnO_4^-+8H^++5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since redox reactions are characterized by the presence of a reduction reaction, whereby the oxidation of the element decreases, and an oxidation reaction whereby the oxidation of the element increases.

In such a way, for the given chemical equation, we can see Fe is increasing its oxidation state from 2+ to 3+, which means it is oxidized. On the flip side, Mn is being reduced from 7+ (MnO₄⁻) to 2+ and this, the reduction half-reaction is:

$MnO_4^-+8H^++5e^-\rightarrow Mn^{2+}+4H_2O$

Whereas five electrons are carried.

Regards!

Match the grams of each element or compound to the corresponding number of moles of that element or compound.

klasskru [66]

Answer is: 20.0g H - 20.0 moles; 0.50 g Na - 0.022 moles; 2.0 x 102 mg H2O - 0.011 moles.

1) m(H) = 20.0 g; mass of hydrogen.

n(H) = m(H) ÷ M(H).

n(H) = 20 g ÷ 1 g/mol.

n(H) = 20.0 mol; amount of hydrogen.

2) m(Na) = 0.50 g; mass of sodium.

n(Na) = m(Na) ÷ M(Na).

n(Na) = 0.5 g ÷ 22.98 g/mol.

n(Na) = 0.022 mol; amount of sodium.

3) m(H₂O) = 200 mg ÷ 1000 mg/g.

m(H₂O) = 0.20 g; mass of water.

n(H₂O) = m(H₂O) ÷ M(H₂O).

n(H₂O) = 0.2 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 0.011 mol; amount of water.

Ammonium nitrate, a common fertilizer, is used as an explosive in fireworks and by terrorists. It was the material used in the t

Sladkaya [172]

Explanation:

The given balanced reaction is as follows.

$2NH_{4}NO_{3} \rightarrow 2N_{2} + O_{2} + 4H_{2}O$

It is given that mass of ammonium nitrate is 86.0 kg.

As 1 kg = 1000 g. So, 86.0 kg = 86000 g.

Hence, moles of $NH_{4}NO_{3}$ present will be as follows.

Moles of $NH_{4}NO_{3}$ = $\frac{mass given}{\text{molar mass of NH_{4}NO_{3}}}$

= $\frac{86000 g}{80.043 g/mol}$

= 1074.42 mol

Therefore, moles of $N_{2}$ , $O_{2}$ and $H_{2}O$ produced by 1074.42 mole of $NH_{4}NO_{3}$ will be as follows.

Moles of $O_{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2} \times 1074.42 mol$

= 537.21 mol

Moles of $N_{2}$ = $\frac{2}{2} \times 1074.42 mol$

= 1074.42 mol

Moles of $H_{2}O$ = $\frac{4}{2} \times 1074.42 mol$

= 2148.84 mol

Therefore, total number of moles will be as follows.

537.21 mol + 1074.42 mol + 2148.84 mol

= 3760.47 mol

According to ideal gas equation, PV = nRT. Hence, calculate the volume as follows.

PV = nRT

1 atm \times V = 3760.47 mol \times 0.0821 L atm/mol K \times 580 K[/tex] (as $307^{o}C$ = 307 + 273 = 580 K)

V = 179066.06 L

Thus, we can conclude that total volume of the gas is 179066.06 L.

Answer:

Production of Citric Acid

It is an organic carboxylic acid and can be extracted from the juice of citrus fruits by adding calcium oxide to form calcium citrate, which is an insoluble precipitate that can be collected by filtration; the citric acid can be recovered from its calcium salt by adding sulfuric acid.
