Magnetism, or more specifically electromagnetic repulsion
C. You should ALWAYS ask the teacher if you don't get something; your friends could be wrong, don't guess it, and NEVER cheat. Hope this helps!!
The slight positive charges on the hydrogen atoms in water molecules attract the slight negative charges on the oxygen atoms of the other water molecules
The given solution of Mn²⁺ is 0.60 mg/mL.
Hence mass of Mn²⁺ in 5 mL of solution = 0.60 mg/mL x 5 mL = 3 mg
Molar mass of Mn = 54.9 g/mol
Hence, moles of Mn²⁺ = 3 x 10⁻³ g / 54.9 g/mol = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol
The balanced equation for the reaction is,
2Mn²⁺ + 5KIO₄ + 3H₂O → 2MnO₄⁻ + 5KIO₃ + 6H⁺
The stoichiometric ratio between Mn²⁺ and KIO₄ is 2 : 5
Hence, moles of KIO₄ reacted = 5.46 x 10⁻⁵ mol x (5 / 2)
= 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol
Molar mass of KIO₄ = 230 g/mol
Hence needed mass of KIO₄ = 13.65 x 10⁻⁵ mol x 230 g/mol
= 0.031395 g
= 31.395 mg
≈ 31.4 mg
