Write a half-reaction for the oxidation of the manganese in MnCO3(s) to MnO2(s) in neutral groundwater where the carbonate-conta

ining species in the product is HCO3–(aq). Add H2O and H+ to balance the H and O atoms in the equation. Do not add electrons; you may leave the half-reaction unbalanced with respect to charge.

Answer:MnCO3+2H2O----->MnO2+ HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Explanation:The equation to be balanced is

MnCO3 ------> MnO2+HCO3-

The oxidation number of Mn changes from +2 in MnCO3 to +4 in MnO2

Therefore two electrons must be added to the right as shown below:

MnCO3 -------> MnO2+ HCO3-+ 2e-Now,there is one negative charge HCO3- and 1 negative charge on the two electrons making a total of -3 charges on the right. There is zero charge on the left.

To balance the equation,add3H+on the right,to cancel out the charges.

MnCO3 --------> MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Adding H2O to balance Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms:

MnCO3+2H2O ------->MnO2+HCO3-+2e-+3H+

Which postulate of Dalton's theory is consistent with the following observation concerning the weights of reactants and products
hram777 [196]

<u>Answer:</u> This illustrates law of conservation of mass.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Dalton's theory is based on mainly two laws which are law of conservation of mass and law of constant proportion.

Law of conservation of mass states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The chemical equation for the decomposition of calcium carbonate follows:

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2

We are given:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 100 grams

Mass of calcium oxide = 56 grams

Mass of carbon dioxide = 44 grams

Total mass on reactant side = 100  g

Total mass on product side = 56 + 44 = 100 g

As, the total mass on reactant side is equal to the total mass on product side.

Thus, this illustrates law of conservation of mass.

Bronze contains 90 to 95 percent copper and 5 to 10 percent tin. Because these percentages can vary, bronze is classified as

<span>Answer: a mixture.


</span><span>Justification:</span>
<span /><span>
</span><span>1) Pure substances have a definite chemical formula: the same kind of atoms with the same fixed ratios and chemical bonds. Therefore, the percents of each element do not varye.
</span>
<span /><span /><span>
2) Elements and compounds are pure substaces. For example, Fe, Mg, Ti, are elements, and CO₂, CO, H₂CO₃ are compounds. Each of them will have always the same kind of atoms, in the same ratio and with the same chemcial bonds. Therefore the percents of the elements do not varye.
</span><span />

<span>3) Mixtures are formed by the physical combination (not chemical bonds) of different elements or compounds in variable proportions. As indicated, this describes the material bronze, in virtue of the variation of its composition. Other examples of mixtures are solutions (like brines), air, ocean water, and milk: different brines, different oceans and different milk have different contents of elements or compounds.

<span>A piece of sodium metal can be described as a soft silvery white metal that is highly reactive and can sometimes cause explosions. This is the reason why it doesn't occur naturally as an isolated metal. Instead, different sodium containing compounds undergo different processes to isolate the sodium metal.</span>

Substances with high lattice energies tend to be less soluble than substances with low lattice energies. On that basis predict t
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

KBr > NaCl  > K_{2}SO_{4} > Ce_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}  

Explanation:

Generally, the higher the lattice energy of the substance, the lower the solubility of the substance. The lattice energy of KBr is the lowest, follow by that NaCl and that of K_{2}SO_{4} while that of  K_{2}SO_{4} is the highest. Based on the relationship between the lattice energy and solubility, the solubility of the substances ranging from the highest to lowest is KBr > NaCl  > K_{2}SO_{4} > Ce_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}.
