Manganese is a key component of extremely hard steel. The element occurs naturally in many oxides. A 542.3-g sample of a manganese oxide has an Mn/O ratio of 1.00/1.42 and consists of braunite (Mn2O3) and manganosite (MnO). (a) What masses of braunite and manganosite are in the ore? (b) What is the ratio Mn3+/Mn2+ in the ore?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The mass can be found as466.2 g Mn2O3, 76.1 g MnO.
  2. The ratio can be found as5.52/1 Mn3+/Mn2+ ratio.

Step by step solution

01

Finding the masses of braunite and manganosite

The first equation can be denoted as,

x+y=542.3 g

The moles can be denoted as,

MolesofMn2O3×1molMn2O3157.87gMn2O3=x157.87molMn2O3MolesofMno=ygMnO×1molMnO70.94gMnO=y70.94molMnO

The moles of Mn and O can be,

MolesMn(fromMn2O3)=x157.87molMn2O3×2molMn1molMn2O3MolesMn(fromMn2O3)=0.0127xmolMnMolesMn(fromMn2O3)=x157.87molMn2O3×3molMn1molMn2O3MolesMn(fromMn2O3)=0.0190xmolMn

Then,

MolesMn(fromMnO)=y70.94molMnO×1molMn1molMnOMolesMn(fromMnO)=0.0141ymolMnMolesMn(fromMnO)=y70.94molMnO×1molMn1molMnOMolesMn(fromMnO)=0.0141ymolO

On isolating the first equation,

x+y=542.3 g

Y=542.3 g-x

On solving g or x,

x=466.2gMn2O3y=542.3g-x=542.3g-466.2g=76.1gMnO

02

Finding the ratio Mn3+/Mn2+ in the ore

The moles can be denoted as,

MolesofMn3+=466.2gMn2O3×1molMn2O3157.87gMn2O3×2molMn3+1molMn2O3MolesofMn3+=5.91molMolesofMn2+=76.1gMnO×1molMnO157.87gMnO×2molMn2+1molMnOMolesofMn2+=1.07molMn3+Mn2+=5.91molMn3+1.07molMn2+=5.521.00
