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-

Tin has ten stable isotopes. The heaviest, 124Sn, makes up 5.80% of naturally occuring tin atoms. How many atoms of 124Sn are pr
matrenka [14]

The average atomic mass of Sn is 118.71 g/mol

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

the given mass of Sn is 82g

The total  moles of Sn will be = mass / atomic mass = 82/118.71=0.691

Total atoms of Sn in 82g = 6.023X10^{23}X0.691=4.16X10^{23}

the percentage of heaviest Sn is 5.80%

So the total atoms of Sn^{124} = 5.80% X 4.16X10^{23}

Total atoms of Sn^{124}=2.41X10^{22} atoms

the mass of Sn^{124} will be = \frac{2.41X10^{22}X124}{6.023X10^{23}}=4.96g

One mole of a metallic oxide reacts with one mole of hydrogen to produce two moles of the pure metal
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Explanation:

Hello!  

In this case, according to the given amounts, it is possible to write down the chemical reaction as shown below:

M_2O+H_2\rightarrow 2M+H_2O  

Which means that the metallic oxide has the following formula: M₂O. Next, we can set up the following proportional factors according to the chemical reaction:

5.00gM_2O*\frac{1molM_2O}{(2*X+16)gM_2O}*\frac{2molM}{1molM_2O}*\frac{XgM}{1molM}=2.32gM  

Thus, we perform the operations in order to obtain:

\frac{10X}{(2X+16)}=2.32  

So we solve for x as shown below:

10X=2.32(2X+16)\\\\10X=4.64X+37.12\\\\X=\frac{37.12}{10-4.64}\\\\X= 6.93g/mol  

Whose molar mass corresponds to lithium, and therefore, the metallic oxide is lithium oxide, Li₂O.  

Best regards!
