After balancing the following reaction under acidic conditions, how many mole equivalents of water are required and on which side of the reaction do they appear? MnO41- (aq) + Cl1- (aq) → Mn2+ (aq) + Cl2 (g)

a. 2 moles of H2O on the reactant side
b. 2 moles of H2O on the product side
c. 4 moles of H2O on the product side
d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side
e. 10 moles of H2O on the reactant side

d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we need to balance the given redox reaction in acidic media as shown below:

Then, we add the half reactions:

Thereby, we can see d. 8 moles of H2O on the product side.

Best regards.

in theory, limestone is composed principally of the compound calcium carbonate - caco3, but in reality this compound is deposited in conditions involving a number of other compounds as impurities so it ends up being a mixture of many compounds.

hope this : -)

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8
