Answer:

b. 16, reactant side

Explanation:

Let's consider the following redox reaction.

MnO₄⁻(aq) + I⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + I₂(s)

We can balance it using the ion-electron method.

Step 1: Identify both half-reactions

Reduction: MnO₄⁻(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq)

Oxidation: I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)

Step 2: Perform the mass balance, adding H⁺(aq) and H₂O(l) where appropriate

MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)

Step 3: Perform the charge balance, adding electrons where appropriate

MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l)

2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)  + 2 e⁻

Step 4: Multiply both half-reactions by numbers so that the number of electrons gained and lost are equal

2 × (MnO₄⁻(aq) + 8 H⁺(aq) + 5 e⁻ → Mn²⁺(aq) + 4 H₂O(l))

5 × (2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s)  + 2 e⁻)

Step 5: Add both half-reactions and cancel what is repeated on both sides

2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻ + 10 I⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 I₂(s)  + 10 e⁻

The balanced reaction is:

2 MnO₄⁻(aq) + 16 H⁺(aq) + 10 I⁻(aq) → 2 Mn²⁺(aq) + 8 H₂O(l) + 5 I₂(s)

What mass of H2O is produced by the combustion of 1.00 mol of CH4?
kkurt [141]
CH4 : H2O
1 : 2

number of moles of H2O = 1.00 x 2
number of moles of H2O = 2.00mol

mass = number of moles x molar mass

mass of H2O = 2.00 x (1 + 1 + 16)
mass of H2O = 36g

The concentration of an additive in a standard sample of palm oil was measured 6 times and the following results were obtained:
Lerok [7]

In the data, 0.20 ppm is an outlier and this can be rejected if there is a 95% confidence level.

<h3>What is an outlier?</h3>

When analyzing data an outlier is a value that is abnormal or too different from other data. In the case presented 0.20 can be tagged as an outlier because other values such as 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, and 0.14 are similar while 0.20 is outside this range.

<h3>Should this piece of data be rejected?</h3>

The general rule is that if there is a 95% of confidence or higher you can reject an outlier, knowing the other data occurs 95% of the time, and therefore the outlier is improbable.

Based on this, you can reject an outlier if the confidence level is 95%.
