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>

How do the properties of elements in the same column of the periodic table compare
Alik [6]
The columns of the periodic table, also referred to as "groups" contain elements with similar reactive properties, due to these elements having a similar configuration of electrons in their outer shell.

Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed
Schach [20]
Dmitri Mendeleev is the scientist who first developed the periodic table.

He is a Russian chemist and inventor who formulated the periodic law and created the periodic table of elements. He corrected some of the properties of the elements. Now, we can easily locate the elements we wanted to identify. With the help of Mendeleev, studying chemistry is not that difficult because he tried to simplify some of the concept that was complex before.

What are the benefits and limitations to relative dating rock layer?
vlabodo [156]
Relative dating can only determine the sequential order<span> of events, not the exact date which something occurred. It is useful for being able to determine a timeline of events in an exact point, but won't give a full picture of events in the past nor account for the age of material.
