Answer:

First, balance the half-reactions

Second, equalize the electrons

Third,add two reaction equations to get final answer

Explanation:

For example

H₂C₂0₄ + MnO⁻₄ ---------->CO₂+Mn²⁺

(i) Balancing the half reactions

H₂C₂O₄-------->2CO₂+2H⁺+2e⁻

5e⁻ +8H⁺+MnO₄⁻----------->Mn²⁺+4H₂O

(ii)

Equalizing the electrons

5H₂C₂O₄--------->10CO₂+10H⁺+10e⁻  ---here there is a factor of 5

10e⁻+16H⁺+2MnO₄⁻--------->2Mn²⁺+8H₂O -----here there is a factor of 2

(iii)

Add the two where electrons and some Hydrogen ions will cancel out

5H₂C₂O₄+6H⁺+2MnO₄⁻---->10CO₂+2Mn²⁺+8H₂O

Answer:

The mass of the steel bar is 26.833 grams

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>data given

ΣQ gained = ΣQ lost

Q=m*C*ΔT

with m = mass in grams

with C= specific heat capacity ( in J/(g°C))

with ΔT = change in temperature = T2-T1

Qsteel = Qwater

msteel * Csteel * (T2steel - T1steel) = mwater * Cwater * (T2water - T1water)

Mass of steel = TO BE  DETERMINED

mass of water =⇒ since 1mL = 1g : 80 mL = 80g

Csteel =0.452 J/(g °C

Cwater = 4.18 J/(g °C

initial temperature steel T1 : 2 °C

final temperature steel T2 = 21.3 °C

initial temperature water T1 =22 °C

final temperature water T2 = 21.3 °C

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate mass of steel

msteel * Csteel * (T2steel - T1steel) = mwater * Cwater * (T2water - T1water)

msteel * 0.452 *(21.3-2) = 80 * 4.18 * (21.3-22)

msteel = (80 * 4.18 * (-0.7)) / (0.452 * 19.3)

msteel = -234.08 / 8.7236

msteel = -26.833 g

Since mass can't be negative we should take the absolute value of it = 26.833g

The mass of the steel bar is 26.833 grams
