Manganese has 25 electrons and is a transition element
Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.
Balance each one by adding electrons to make the charges on both sides the same:
Sn--> Sn2+ + 2 e-
Ag+ + 1 e- --> Ag
Now, you have to have the same number of electrons in the two half-reactions, so multiply the second one by 2 to get:
2 Ag+ + 2 e- --> 2 Ag
Now, just add the two half reactions together, cancelling anything that's the same on both sides:
2 Ag+ + Sn --> Sn2+ + 2 Ag
And you're done.
Answer:
1. d[H₂O₂]/dt = -6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹; d[H₂O]/dt = 6.6 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹
2. 0.58 mol
Explanation:
1.Given ΔO₂/Δt…
2H₂O₂ ⟶ 2H₂O + O₂
-½d[H₂O₂]/dt = +½d[H₂O]/dt = d[O₂]/dt
d[H₂O₂]/dt = -2d[O₂]/dt = -2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ = -6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹
d[H₂O]/dt = 2d[O₂]/dt = 2 × 3.3 × 10⁻³ mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹ = 6.6 × 10⁻³mol·L⁻¹s⁻¹
2. Moles of O₂
(a) Initial moles of H₂O₂
(b) Final moles of H₂O₂
The concentration of H₂O₂ has dropped to 0.22 mol·L⁻¹.
(c) Moles of H₂O₂ reacted
Moles reacted = 1.5 mol - 0.33 mol = 1.17 mol
(d) Moles of O₂ formed
