A volatile impurity, is an impurity that evaporates quickly, so, if you were to conduct an experiment on a substance with this type of impurity, the evaporation point, and the mass of the substance at high temperatures would be in error.
It can fit two more electrons within its valence shell to follow the octet rule. It will have a -2 charge to gain those two electrons to fill its octet.
Answer:
2MnO4^- (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq)
Explanation:
First, write the half equations for the reduction of MnO4^- and the oxidation of C2O4^2- respectively. Balance it.
Reduction requires H+ ions and e- and gives out water, vice versa for oxidation.
Reduction:
MnO4^- (aq) + 4H^+ (aq) + 3e- ---> MnO2(s) + 2H2O (l)
Oxidation:
C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) ---> 2CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq) + 2e-
Balance the no. of electrons on both equations so that electrons can be eliminated. we can do so by multiplying the reduction eq by 2, and oxidation eq by 3.
2MnO4^- (aq) + 8H^+ (aq) + 6e- ---> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O (l)
3C2O4^2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) ---> 6CO3^2 -(aq) + 12H^+ (aq) + 6e-
Now combine both equations and eliminate repeating H+ and H2O.
2MnO4^- (aq) + 8H^+ (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 6H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) + 4H2O (l) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 12H^+ (aq)
turns into:
2MnO4^- (aq) + 3C2O4^2- (aq) + 2H2O (l) --> 2MnO2(s) +6CO3^2 -(aq) + 4H^+ (aq)
