An acid can be defined as a proton donor.
The atom that would gain two electrons to fill its valence energy level is S(sulfur)
This is because s (sulfur) is in atomic number 16 with 2.8.6 of [Ne] 3s^2 2p^4 electronic configuration. This implies that sulfur has 6 valence electron and therefore it require two electron to fill its valence energy level and obtain 18 rule electrons.
Answer:
48.32 g of anhydrous MnSO4.
Explanation:
Equation of dehydration reaction:
MnSO4 •4H2O --> MnSO4 + 4H2O
Molar mass = 55 + 32 + (4*16) + 4((1*2) + 16)
= 223 g/mol
Mass of MnSO4 • 4H2O = 71.6 g
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
= 71.6/223
= 0.32 mol.
By stoichiometry, since 1 mole of MnSO4 •4H2O is dehydrated to give 1 mole of anhydrous MnSO4
Number of moles of MnSO4 = 0.32 mol.
Molar mass = 55 + 32 + (4*16)
= 151 g/mol.
Mass = 151 * 0.32
= 48.32 g of anhydrous MnSO4.
The answer is A because it’s how you calculate the mass
