Answer:

Manganese (Mn)

Explanation:

We know it's manganese because we are told it is an electrically neutral atom. This means it has the same number of protons and electrons. If it has 25 electrons, it has 25 protons. Protons tell us the atomic number of the atom, which also tells us the name of the element. Manganese is element 25 on the periodic table.

Calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. on the basis of this result, what type of interatom

pashok25 [27]

Answer : % ionic character is 0.20%

Bonding between the two metals will be purely metallic.

Explanation: For the calculation of % ionic character, we use the formula

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(X_A-X_B)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

where $X_A$ & $X_B$ are the Pauling's electronegativities.

The table attached has the values of electronegativities, by taking the values of Al and Mn from there,

$X_{Al}=1.61$

$X_{Mn}=1.55$

Putting the values in the electronegativity formula, we get

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(1.61-1.55)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

= 0.20%

Now, there are 3 types of inter atomic bonding

1) Ionic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms

2) Covalent Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond involving the sharing of electron pairs between 2 atoms.

3) Metallic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is an electrostatic force between the positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.

In $Al_6Mn$ compound, the % ionic character is minimal that is $\sim$ 0.20% and there are two metal ions present, therefore this compound will have metallic bonding.

Which example is the site of reduction when the dry cell is operating

Simora [160]

Answer:

A battery contains electrochemical cells that can store chemical energy to be converted to electrical energy. A dry-cell battery stores energy in an immobilized electrolyte paste, which minimizes the need for water. Common examples of dry-cell batteries include zinc-carbon batteries and alkaline batteries.

How many liters of carbon dioxide can be produced if 37.8 grams of carbon disulfide react with excess oxygen gas at 28.85 degree

alekssr [168]

37.8 grams of CS2 equals to 37.8/76=0.5 mole. So the products have 0.5 mole CO2 which is 11.2 liters at STP. So according to the gas law, the volume at given condition is 12.4 liters. So the answer should be 12.2 liters.
