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>

A chemist mixes 1.00 g CuCl2 with an excess of (NH4)2HPO4 in dilute aqueous solution . He measures the evolution of 670 J of hea
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\Delta H will be 90054 J

Explanation:

Number of moles = (mass)/(molar mass)

Molar mass of CuCl_{2} = 134.45 g/mol

So, 1.00 g of CuCl_{2} = \frac{1.00}{134.45}mol of CuCl_{2} = 0.00744 mol of CuCl_{2}

0.00744 mol of CuCl_{2} produces 670 J of heat

So, 1 mol of CuCl_{2} produces \frac{670}{0.00744}J of heat or 90054 J of heat

4. Why can't the subscripts be changed in a chemical equation in chemistry
neonofarm [45]
If you change the subscripts it would change the reactants or products and then you would be solving a different formula, you would change what the chemical is

certain gas occupies 6.24L at pressure of 760 mm Hg.If the pressure is reduced to 60.0mm Hg,what would the new volume be?​
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

79.04 L

Explanation:

We are given;

Initial Volume; V1 = 6.24L

Initial Pressure; P1 = 760 mm Hg

Final pressure; P2 = 60.0mm Hg

To solve for final volume, we will use Boyles law;

P1•V1 = P2•V2

Let's make V2 which is the final volume the subject;

V2 = (P1•V1)/P2

V2 = (760 × 6.24)/60

V2 = 79.04 L

How many grams of calcium chloride are dissolved in 5.65 liters of a 0.11 m solution of calcium choride?
Julli [10]
C = 0.11 mol
V = 5.65 L
n = ???

n = C*V
n = 0.11 * 5.65
n = 0.622 mols

1 mol of CaCl2 = 40 + 2*35.5 = 111 grams
0.622 mol = x

x = 111 * 0.622
x = 69.0 grams CaCl2
