Answer:
Explanation:
<u>Manganese (VII) ion (an anion) has the formula MnO₄⁻</u>. A polyatomic ion is an ion that is made up of more than one atom. For example, MnO₄⁻ and NH₄⁺. Since the ion provided in the question is an anion, the polyatomic ion that would react with it will have to be a cation (positively charged).
<u>The polyatomic cation that will react with MnO₄⁻ to form a neutral compound is NH₄⁺ (ammonium ion) to form NH₄MnO₄ (Ammonium permanganate).</u>
Because you are never adding more than the substances created, nor are you creating any, but should a chemical reaction take place you could see the liquid change form into a gaseous state and that would result a loss of the liquid volume.
So to wrap it all up you can’t have more liquids than what is already there but you could always lose some due to a chemical change, hence the reason it says an open flask, the chemical change would not be collected, mass would be lost
