Look to be honest, I don't know how to work out the problem, but my teacher, and my says it takes 8 minutes for the Sun's light to reach
hope my answer works :)
Answer:
3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Au → 5Au³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.
Explanation:
- KMnO₄ is strong oxidizing agent which is reduced and oxidizes Au according to the two-half reactions:
The oxidation reaction: Au → Au³⁺ + 3e.
The reduction reaction: MnO₄⁻ + 8H⁺ + 5e → Mn²⁺ + 4H₂O.
- To obtain the net redox reaction, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 5 and the reduction reaction by 5 to equalize the no. of electrons in the two-half reactions.
<em>So, the net redox reaction will be:</em>
<em>3MnO₄⁻ + 24H⁺ + 5Au → 5Au³⁺ + 3Mn²⁺ + 12H₂O.</em>

From the periodic table you know that Cl has a molar mass of 35.35 g/m. So if you just set up the dimensional analysis as so: (.46 moles Cl)*(35.45 grams Cl/1 mole Cl) and multiply out you get 16 grams of Cl if you follow the sig figs and 16.307 if you don't.
