If it has properties of metal and non metal it is considered a metalloid there are very few spots in which metalloids are located the spots I circled on a blank periodic tables are where the metalloids are located on an actual periodic table your only options are
boron(B) silicon(si) germanium(Ge) arsenic(As)antimony(Sb)tellurium(Te)astatine(At)those are the only places on the periodic table that has metalloids... I hope this helps

Answer:

option c is correct

Explanation:

the addition of catalyst does not effect the position or equilibrium constant and increase the forward and backward reaction in equal rates so no effect would be observed

Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring in basic solution.MnO−4(aq)+Br−(aq)→MnO2(s)+BrO−3(aq)Express your answer
Ahat [919]

Answer : The balanced chemical equation is,

2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

Explanation :

Rules for the balanced chemical equation in basic solution are :

  • First we have to write into the two half-reactions.
  • Now balance the main atoms in the reaction.
  • Now balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms on both the sides of the reaction.
  • If the oxygen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding water molecules at that side where the more number of oxygen are present.
  • If the hydrogen atoms are not balanced on both the sides then adding hydroxide ion (OH^-) at that side where the less number of hydrogen are present.
  • Now balance the charge.

The half reactions in the basic solution are :

Reduction : MnO_4^-(aq)+2H_2O(l)+3e^-\rightarrow MnO_2(s)+4OH^-(aq) ......(1)

Oxidation : Br^-(aq)+6OH^-(aq)\rightarrow BrO_3^-(aq)+3H_2O(l)+6e^-  .......(2)

Now multiply the equation (1) by 2 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced chemical equation in a basic solution will be,

2MnO_4^-(aq)+Br^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2MnO_2(s)+BrO_3^-(aq)+2OH^-(aq)
