<span>Balanced half-reaction: Au</span>⁺<span>(aq) </span>→ <span> Au</span>³⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Oxidation reaction is increasing of oxidation number of element, because element or ion lost electrons in chemical reaction.
Gold lost two electrons and change oxidation number from +1 to +3.
Reduction is lowering oxidation number because element gain electrons.

If you have 30 atoms of potassium how many atoms of F would need to go with it for all of the atoms of potassium to compound.
NeX [460]
Both Potassium and Fluorine only form one bond. Each potassium atom will donate there electron to 1 fluorine atom to form a bond. Therefore, you will need 30 Fluorine atoms.

What is the volume if density of gold is 19.3g/ml and sand is 2.3g/ml with 1L of volume?
malfutka [58]
Use the volume and density of the gold statue to calculate the mass of the statue.
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, mass = density • volume
Convert the volume of the statue from L to mL so volume unit agrees with density unit
mass of statue = 19.3 g/mL • 1000 mL = 19 300 g

Mass of sand must be same as the mass of the statue, 19 300 g
Use the mass and density of the sand to calculate the volume of sand needed
density = mass / volume, or rearranged, volume = mass / density
volume of sand needed = 19 300 g / 23 g/mL = 8391 mL or 8.391 L

1b
Calculate the density of the statue from the measured mass and volume. If the calculated density agrees with the known density of gold, then the statue is made from pure gold.

density = mass / volume
Convert the mass from kg to g as you want the answer in g/mL so you can compare it to the reference value of gold given in the problem. 16.5 kg • 1000 g / 1 kg = 16 500 g
density of the statue = 16 500 g / 954 mL = 17.3 g/mL

Since this density, 17.3 g/mL is significantly different from the known density of gold, 19.3 g/mL, the statue cannot be made of pure gold. The gold was mixed with a less dense metal.
