Mn or Co is treated with 1 mL of 6 M HNO3 followed immediately by the drop-wise addition of 3% hydrogen peroxide until the precipitate fully dissolves. The test tube is then heated in a water bath until bubbling ceases. At this stage of the experiment, which elements could be found in the resulting LIQUID?

Mn, Co,  H, N and O

Explanation:

When metallic Mn or Co reacts with concentrated HNO₃, they dissolve completely in the acid . The products formed are the nitrates of the metals, water and a mixture of NO and NO₂ gases. Hydrogen peroxide is added to oxidize any NO to NO₂ which is less harmful.

The equations of the reaction are given below;

Mn + HNO₃ > Mn(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

Co + HNO₃ > Co(NO₃)₂ + NO + H₂O

H₂O₂ + NO > H₂O + NO₂

The resulting solution will be the soluble nitrates of manganese and cobalt as well water and this solution contains the following elements; Mn, Co, N, H And O.

the earth would become to overheated and everything alive on it will eventually die from overheating. plants will eventually die as well, water will evaporate, and it will be nothing but a hot planet without anything living on it.
