In a titration experiment, C2O42- reacts MnO4- with as represented by the equation above. The dark purple KMnO4 solution is added from a buret to an acidified colorless solution in an Erlenmeyer flask.
At some point in the experiment, the rate of appearance of Mn2+ ions was 1.0 x 10-4M/s. What was the rate of disappearance of C2O42-?

The allotropes of carbon include a variety of structures that include three-dimensional tetrahedral lattices, planes of hexagonal rings, cylindrical tubes of hexagonal rings, and spheres of five- and six-membered rings. similar shapes of network covalent atomic solids are possible with carbon nitride, boron, and pure silicon (e.g., silicene is a graphene-like allotrope of pure silicon). in contrast, silicates exist as either highly ordered or amorphous (more random) three-dimensional lattices. what could explain why there are there no naturally occurring sheets, stacked sheets, cylindrical tubes, or spheres of network covalent atomic solids composed of silicon and oxygen (sio2)? would pure silicate structures make good lubricants or good electrical conductors?
