Answer:

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The oxidation number of manganese ion (Mn2+ ) is +2

The oxidation number of manganese dioxide  is +(MnO2)4

This means the oxidation number from Mn will go from +2 to +4, since it's increased, this is an oxidation reaction

Mn2+(aq)  ⇒ MnO2(s)

We have to balance both sides. Mn is already the same. But on the right side we have O atoms. T obalance both sides we have to add O atoms to the left side. This by adding 2x H2O

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s)

Now the amount of O atoms is balanced, but we have H- atoms at the left side. To balance we have to add 4 H atoms to the right side

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq)

Now the amount of atoms is balanced at both sides. We also have to check if the charge on both sides is the same.

Since the left side has a charge of +2, and right has a charge of +4, we have to add 2 electrons to balance this.

Mn2+(aq) + 2H2O(l)  ⇒ MnO2(s) + 4H+(aq) + 2e-

This lesson is the first in a three-part series that addresses a concept that is central to the understanding of the water cycle—that water is able to take many forms but is still water. This series of lessons is designed to prepare students to understand that most substances may exist as solids, liquids, or gases depending on the temperature, pressure, and nature of that substance. This knowledge is critical to understanding that water in our world is constantly cycling as a solid, liquid, or gas.

In these lessons, students will observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. It is important to note that students at this level "...should become familiar with the freezing of water and melting of ice (with no change in weight), the disappearance of wetness into the air, and the appearance of water on cold surfaces. Evaporation and condensation will mean nothing different from disappearance and appearance, perhaps for several years, until students begin to understand that the evaporated water is still present in the form of invisibly small molecules." (Benchmarks for Science Literacy<span>, </span>pp. 66-67.)

In this lesson, students explore how water can change from a solid to a liquid and then back again.

<span>In </span>Water 2: Disappearing Water, students will focus on the concept that water can go back and forth from one form to another and the amount of water will remain the same.

Water 3: Melting and Freezing<span> allows students to investigate what happens to the amount of different substances as they change from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a solid.</span>

Liula [17]

Answer: The temperature of the gas reduced to 400K.

Explanation:

Stated that ; The pressure remains the same, that is initial and final pressure equals 1atm.

Applying Charles Law

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Initial volume V1 = 1

Final volume V2 = 1/2 (halved)

Initial temperature T1 =800K

Final temperature T2 = ?

(1/800) = (1/2)/T2

T2 = 800/2

T= 400K

Therefore, when the volume is halved, the temperature reduced also to half ( 400K)
