Answer:
<u>Oxidation state of Mn = +4</u>
Explanation:
Atomic mass of Mn = 55g/mol
From Faraday's law of electrolysis,
Electrochemical equivalent = 
i.e Z = 
= 
= 0.0001424 g/C
But Equivalent weight, E = atomic mass ÷ valency = Z × 96,485
⇒ 
= 0.0001424 × 96,485
<u>∴ Valency of Mn = +4</u>
If the crucible wasn't covered with a lid the reactants may have produced a gas that was released into the surroundings, or mass may have been lost in the form of water vapour.
Answer:
d. P2O5.
Explanation:
We find the ratio of the atoms by dividing the percentages by the relative atomic masses:
P : 43.6 / 30.974 = 1.4076
O: 56.4 / 15.999 = 3.5252
1.4076 : 3.5252
= 1 : 2.5
= 2:5.
So the answer is P2O5.
Explanation:
Ions are always formed when metals and non-metals interact because metals are electropositive. They willing release electrons to non-metals that are electronegative.
This activity results in charge separation. The transfer of electrons from one specie to another is what results in an ionic bond and the precedence of charged particles.
Between non-metals, the electrons are jointly shared. Therefore, there is no charge separation.
