AI Generated Solution

To calculate the oxidation number of manganese (Mn) in the compound potassium permanganate (KMnO₄), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the oxidation states of the other elements - Potassium (K) typically has an oxidation state of +1. - Oxygen (O) typically has an oxidation state of -2. ### Step 2: Set up the equation The sum of the oxidation states in a neutral compound must equal zero. Therefore, we can set up the following equation: ...
