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>

Which of these is an indication that a chemical reaction has occurred?
Kobotan [32]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

  • The correct option is C.
  • Formation of a precipitate

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

During a chemical reaction, new substances are formed known as a products, mostly reaction occur and their product is obtained as precipitates.

<u><em>Example</em></u>

Arylidene-2-thiobarbituric acid is obtained as precipitates when aldehyde and thiobarbituric acid react to each other.

melting of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like melting of ice, composition remained same as before.

boiling of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like boiling of water into vapors, composition remained same as before.

freezing of a substance

It is just indication of physical changes, like freezing of water into ice, composition remained same as before
