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>

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The  El Nino/Southern Oscillation occurs in between the three phases Neutral, La Nina or El Nino.

The humboldt current takes cold water to South America's west coast to the tropics from the  Southern Ocean. Because of the welling which takes place in Peru this process is enhanced. Due to the trade winds near the equator the cold water travels west where it heats up due to the sun. This makes the water of the western Pacific warmer.
