What is the mass prevent of manganese (mn) in potassium permanganate (kmno4)

               Mass percent of Mn is 34.76 %

Explanation:

                    Mass percent of an element is the mass of that element divided by the total mass of the elements forming that compound (or molecular mass.

So,

Mass percent of Mn will be given as,

          %Mn  =  Atomic Mass of Mn / Molecular Mass of KMnO₄ × 100

So,

Atomic Mass of Mn  =  54.94 g/mol

Molecular Mass of KMnO4  =  158.034 g/mol

Putting values in above formula,

          %Mn  =  54.94 g/mol ÷ 158.034 g/mol × 100

          %Mn  = 34.76 %

b is the correct

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
