Answer:

8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 7 e⁻

Explanation:

Let's consider the following oxidation half-reaction that takes place in basic aqueous solution.

Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq)

First, we will perform the mass balance. We will add 4 H₂O to the products side and 8 OH⁻ to the reactants side.

8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

Finally, we will perform the charge balance by adding 7 electrons to the products side.

8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 7 e⁻

Why do we use only a very small flame to heat the Thiele tube when determining the melting point of a crystalline solid?
Strike441 [17]

The Thiele tube which is look like a triangle, used for the determination of melting and boiling point of the solid and liquid sample respectively. The tube consists of high viscous oil. The mouth of the triangle tube consists the thermometer and the sample through a rubber stopper. The tube is always heated in low flame as the heating mechanism of the oil is through convection current process, in which the molecules of the oil heated passes through out the bulk to make a uniform heat of the liquid. The uniform heat of the liquid is necessary to determine the exact melting point of the solid. Also the low heating rate is compulsory so that the rate of convection current be slow. The high heating rate may cause fast convection in the oil and the hot oil can spill out from the tube and may cause an accident.

The boiling point of a substance is tested. After 10 tests, the result is given as 37+/−3°C. Which conclusion can be drawn from
kenny6666 [7]

From the data obtained from the tests, the actual boiling point lies between 34°C and 40°C.

The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the pressure of the substance becomes equal to atmospheric pressure. Pure substances have a sharp boiling point while impure substances boil over a temperature range.

In this case, the boiling point of the substance after 10 tests is obtained as 37+/−3°C. This implies that the actual boiling point lies between 34°C and 40°C.

When 20 calories of heat is added to 2.0 grams of water at 15 c, the temperature of the water increases to?
Hoochie [10]
20 calories equals to 8.368 joules.
4.184 J is needed to raise 1 gram of water.(Heat capacity of water)
for 2 grams of water 8.368 joules.

So the answer is 16 c.

Given: 2H2O2 → 2H2O + O2 structure of H2O2: H–O–O–H Bond Bond Energy (kJ/mol) O–H 459 O=O 494 O–O 142 Based on the given bond en
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

B. - 210 kJ

Explanation:

<em>∵ ΔHrxn = ∑(bond energies)products - ∑(bond energies)reactants.</em>

  • The bond formation in the products releases energy (exothermic).
  • The bond breaking in the reactants requires energy (endothermic).

The products:

  • H₂O contains 2 O-H (- 459 kJ/mol) bonds.
  • O₂ contain 1 O=O (- 494 kJ/mol) bond.

The reactants:

  • H₂O₂ contain 2 O–H (459 kJ/mol) bonds and 1 O–O (142 kJ/mol) bond.

∵ ΔHrxn = ∑(bond energies)products - ∑(bond energies)reactants.

<em>∴ ΔHrxn = [2 (2 x (O–H bond energy) + (1 x (O=O bond energy)] - 2 [(2 x (O–H bond energy) + (1 x (O–O bond energy)] </em>= [2 (2 x - 459 kJ/mol) + (1 x - 494 kJ/mol)] - 2 [(2 x 459 kJ/mol) + (1 x 142 kJ/mol)] = (- 2330 kJ) + (2120 kJ) = <em>- 210 kJ.</em>
