The total oxide ion charge in a formula unit of Mn2O3 is 6-. What is the charge on each manganese ion ?
1 answer:
Answer:
Mn= +3 charge
Explanation:
if you take what we know, and that would be the charge of oxygen, we know that oxygen has a 2- charge and there are 3 sets of O^2- so multiply the number of oxygen times the charge and you get 6-.
Next set up an equation as listed in the picture which will be 2(x)=6
and that is the charge of the Mn ion.

The pressure at its bottom
Solution
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure caused by the weight of a liquid.
The weight of a liquid is affected by the force of gravity.
The hydrostatic pressure of a liquid can be formulated:
Ph = hydrostatic pressure (N / m², Pa)
ρ = density of liquid (kg / m³)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m / s²)
h = height / depth of liquid surface (m)
ρ = density of water (kg / m³) = 1000
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/ sec²
The pressure
