Oxidation unit test

8 0

In this case, according to the given information about the oxidation numbers anf the compounds given, it turns out possible to figure out the oxidation number of manganese in both MnI2, manganese (II) iodide and MnO2, manganese (IV) oxide, by using the concept of charge balance.

Thus, we can define the oxidation state of iodine and oxygen as -1 and -2, respectively, since the former needs one electron to complete the octet and the latter, two of them.

Next, we can write the following $x$ , since manganese has five oxidation states, and it is necessary to calculate the appropriate ones:

$Mn^xI_2^-\\\\Mn ^xO_2^{-2}$

Next, we multiply each anion's oxidation number by the subscript, to obtain the following:

$Mn^xI_2^-\rightarrow x-2=0;x=+2\\\\Mn ^xO_2^{-2}\rightarrow x-4=0;x=+4$

Thus, the correct choice is Manganese has an oxidation number of +2 in Mnl2 and +4 in MnO2.

Define significant figure. Discuss the importance of using the proper number of significant figures in measurements and calculat

anastassius [24]

Explanation:

Significant figure is the measure of how accurately something can be measured. It carries meaning contributing to its measurement resolution. It is important to use proper number of significant figures to get a precise measurement. For example, if we use a meter stick then measurements like 0.874 meters, or 0.900 meters, are good because they indicate that we can measure to the nearest millimeter. Whereas a measurement like 0.8 does not tell that a meter stick can measure to the nearest millimeter.

Which of the following equations has the correct products and is balanced correctly for a reaction between Na3PO4 and KOH?

ASHA 777 [7]

The answer is: A) Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4, because K retains the same charge throughout the reaction.

This chemical reaction is double displacement reaction - cations (K⁺ and Na⁺) and anions (PO₄³⁻⁻ and OH⁻) of the two reactants switch places and form two new compounds.

Na₃PO₄ is sodium phosphate.

KOH is potassium hydroxide.

NaOH is sodium hydroxide.

K₃PO₄ is potassium phosphate.

According to the mass conservation law, there are same number of atoms on both side of balanced chemical reaction.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The lithosphere is made up of pieces of tectonic plates. These plates are constantly changing and move towards the mantle. Non-stop movement of tectonic plates causes stress on the earth's outermost layer i.e,the crust. When these stresses extends it leads to cause cracks called faults.
