Write a half-reaction for the oxidation of the manganese in MnCO3(s) to MnO2(s) in neutral groundwater where the carbonate-conta

ining species in the product is HCO3–(aq). Add H2O and H+ to balance the H and O atoms in the equation. Do not add electrons; you may leave the half-reaction unbalanced with respect to charge.

Answer:MnCO3+2H2O----->MnO2+ HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Explanation:The equation to be balanced is

MnCO3 ------> MnO2+HCO3-

The oxidation number of Mn changes from +2 in MnCO3 to +4 in MnO2

Therefore two electrons must be added to the right as shown below:

MnCO3 -------> MnO2+ HCO3-+ 2e-Now,there is one negative charge HCO3- and 1 negative charge on the two electrons making a total of -3 charges on the right. There is zero charge on the left.

To balance the equation,add3H+on the right,to cancel out the charges.

MnCO3 --------> MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Adding H2O to balance Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms:

MnCO3+2H2O ------->MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

What are some shared properties of both transition metals and alkali metals.
RideAnS [48]

Both transition metals and alkali metals are good conductors of heat and electricity, react with water, and are easily oxidized.

<h3>What are alkali metals and transition metals?</h3>

The alkali metals are elements of group 1 which are lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), caesium (Cs), and francium (Fr).  They are also known as the s-block elements because they have their outermost electron in an s-orbital.

The alkali metals are shiny, soft, highly reactive metals and readily lose their outermost electron to create cations with charge +1. They can tarnish rapidly in the air due to oxidation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen.

Transition elements or transition metals are elements that have partially filled d-orbitals. An element having a d-subshell that is partially filled with electrons or can form stable cations with an incompletely filled d orbital.

Any element present in the d-block of the modern periodic table which consists of groups 3 to 12, is considered to be a transition element. For example, the mercury in the +2 oxidation state, corresponds to an electronic configuration of (n-1)d¹⁰. Many paramagnetic compounds are formed by transition metals because they have unpaired electrons in the d orbital.

What is the pH of a solution with a concentration of 1.8 × 10-4 molar H3O+?
Andre45 [30]
PH is defined as the negative log of Hydrogen ion concentration. Mathematically we can write this as:

pH=-log[H^{+}]=-log[H_{3}O]

We are given the concentration of H_{3}O. Using the value in formula, we get:

pH=-log[1.8*10^{-4}]=3.745

Therefore, the pH of the solution will be 3.745
