The total oxide ion charge in a formula unit of mno is 2–. what is the charge on each manganese ion?

It is given that MnO2 has a formula charge of – 2. We know that each oxygen or oxide ion has also a charge of – 2, therefore there are a total of – 4 oxide charges. So we can write:

X + (- 4) = - 2

Where X is the charge of one manganese ion, so calculating for X:

X = - 2 + 4

X = 2

So the charge of manganese is 2+

"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  

mgco3-5h2o"

in chemistry, adhesion and cohesion are attractive forces that exist between molecules. they hold the molecules together from each other. they are different in that adhesive force exists between molecules of different substance while cohesive force happens between molecules of same substance.

adhesion between water and glass causes water molecules at the edge of water and glass interface to climb up the wall in a narrow glass tube. this is called capillary action. cohesion is what gives glass its shape and causes water to form a droplet.
