Write a half-reaction for the oxidation of the manganese in MNCO3(s) to MnO2(s) in neutral groundwater where the carbonate-containing species in the product is HCO3 (aq). Add H2O and H* to balance the H and O atoms in the equation. Do not add electrons; you may leave the half-reaction unbalanced with respect to charge. X X. Не (aq),

I need help with the final question which is in bold. The previous questions and answers are needed to answer the final question In an electrolysis experiment similar to the one employed this experiment; a student observed that his unknown metal anode lost 0.238 grams while a total volume of 94.50 mL of hydrogen was being produced. The temperature of the solution was 25oC and the barometric pressure was 739 mm Hg. The difference between the water levels in the beaker and buret was negligible. The vapor pressure of water at 25oC is 23.8 mm Hg. Based on the information provided and the lab handout, what pressure of hydrogen is collected, in atmospheres? 9.41x10^-1 atm Using the data collected (in the previous problem), calculate the moles of hydrogen collected. 3.63x10^-3 mol Upon electrolysis, the metal is oxidized to a 2+ valence state. Based on this information, how many moles of metal are present? 3.63x10^-3 mol Use the mass of metal lost and moles from the previous problem to…
