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⁻

What is the rate constant of a first-order reaction that takes 5.50 minutes for the reactant concentration to drop to half of it
bulgar [2K]
For a first order reaction, the half life is inversely proportional to the rate constant. 
The formula is
half life = ln(2)/k = 0.693/k
where k is the rate constant

t = 5.50 minutes

k = ln(2)/5.50 = 0.126 min^-1

Your rate constant is 0.126 min^-1.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The IUPAC name of given compound is 3−5−ethyl−5−−3−methylheptane. Explanation: The parental chain is of 7 carbons with single bonds hence it is heptane. Two substituents ethyl and methyl group are attached from an equal distance. Hence according to the alphabetical order preference, counting starts from carbon which is close to an ethyl group.

What are some limitations of this experiment? How could it be improved?
solong [7]

Answer: Limitation: They may be more expensive and time consuming than lab experiments. Limitation: There is no control over extraneous variables that might bias the results. This makes it difficult for another researcher to replicate the study in exactly the same way.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!
