Chapter 15.9, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The electron count of manganese in the cation shown and manganese is coordinately unsaturated or not are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The electron count of the metal in a neutral complex is the sum of its valence electrons and the electrons from all the bonds with the ligands. If any of the ligands has a formal charge, then the charge on the metal is adjusted so as to match the overall charge.

If the complex is ionic, then as many electrons as the charge are added in case of an anionic complex and subtracted in case of a cationic complex.

Ideally, the electron count of a metal in a complex is 18. If it is less, then the metal is called coordinately unsaturated.

What is the average mass of the 10 pennies? Report your value with correct significant figures. What is the error (uncertainty) associated with each mass measurement due to the equipment? What is the uncertainty associated with the average value? Note that the uncertainty of the balance will propagate throughout the calculation. What is the standard deviation of the 10 mass measurements? Explain the difference between the propagated uncertainty and the standard deviation. Which number would you use to describe the uncertainty in the measurement? Calculate the total mass of the pennies with associated uncertainty. Calculate the average density of a penny based on these data. Propagate the uncertainty values for both mass and volume in your calculations.
Can you help me and explain the answers please.
