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>

What is the rule for determining the mass of an atom
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

For any given isotope, the sum of the numbers of protons and neutrons in the nucleus is called the mass number. This is because each proton and each neutron weigh one atomic mass unit. By adding together the number of protons and neutrons and multiplying by 1, you can calculate the mass of the atom.

Acetic acid (HC2H3O2, Ka=1.8x10^-5) is a weak acid. Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: The pH of an aqueous solution of .25M acetic acid is 2.7

Explanation:

HC_2H_3O_2\rightarrow H^+C_2H_3O_2^-

 cM              0             0

c-c\alpha        c\alpha          c\alpha  

So dissociation constant will be:

K_a=\frac{(c\alpha)^{2}}{c-c\alpha}

Give c= 0.25 M and \alpha = ?

K_a=1.8\times 10^{-5}

Putting in the values we get:

1.8\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(0.25\times \alpha)^2}{(0.25-0.25\times \alpha)}

(\alpha)=0.0084

[H^+]=c\times \alpha

[H^+]=0.25\times 0.0084=0.0021

Also pH=-log[H^+]

pH=-log[0.0021]=2.7

Thus pH is 2.7

Which is a polar molecule?
Sloan [31]
A polar molecule is when the arrangement of the atoms in molecules are unequal where one end of the molecule has a positive charge while the other end has a negative charge. Examples of a polar molecule are water, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide. The opposite is called a nonpolar molecule.

Which of the following is NOT a variable property for a gas?
Alex_Xolod [135]
Mass, air has that. Since what fills up a balloon? A gas
Shape, it has no definite shape. This one is accurate, it has no definite shape, it takes the shape of the object it's in.
Volume, does air take up space? If it does then yep. Balloon example/
Density, yes it does, because it's tightly wounded up.
