Answer:
Answer is: A. Vinegar and soda.
Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base (in this example soda or some other base) react quantitatively with each other.
Balanced chemical reaction of vinegar and soda:
CH₃COOH(aq) + Na⁺(aq) → CH₃COONa(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is a salt.
Answer:
8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 7 e⁻
Explanation:
Let's consider the following oxidation half-reaction that takes place in basic aqueous solution.
Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq)
First, we will perform the mass balance. We will add 4 H₂O to the products side and 8 OH⁻ to the reactants side.
8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)
Finally, we will perform the charge balance by adding 7 electrons to the products side.
8 OH⁻(aq) + Mn(s) ⇒ MnO₄⁻(aq) + 4 H₂O(l) + 7 e⁻
