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>

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

1. Molality.

2. Concentration.

3. Percent by mass.

4.  Mole fraction.

Explanation:

Molarity is the measurement by which the number of moles is measured by a solute. The solution here is one liter respectively.

Concentration is the product which is emerged when the amount of the solute is divided by the amount o the solvent or solution.

Mole fraction refers to the number of component moles divided by the number of the solution moles.

Write any three reason for the profuse use of plastic . although it is harmful .​
Phantasy [73]
(1)Plastics (i.e. synthetic polymers) are used frequently for many applications because they tend to be (a) easy to fabricate items with, by moulding, or other methods, (b) can be strong even though very lightweight, so useful for making items that require good physical strength, as well as things like packaging which need to be able to support the contents correctly, (c) relatively low cost (especially overall, when ease of fabrication is taken into account.
(2)The "use" of plastics is not harmful per se, and plastics themselves are innocuous (one reason that they fail to readily biodegrade is that they do not interact with biological systems). But poor manangement of waste plastic can lead to problems.
(3)Failing to recycle and reuse synthetic polymers can lead to those items not landfilled (which is a separate issue - ultimately we would run out of landfill sites) items ending up in the sea, rivers or in the general environment where they can be hazardous to wildlife, and look unsightly.
But that is down to poor management, and societal attitudes, not down to the fact that the items are made of plastics.
(4)If we failed to manage sewage and simply discharged that into the streets or into rivers that would be a major problem too. But that doesn't mean we should "ban sewage" - just manage it in an effective way.
