Treatment of gold metal with BrF3 and KF produces Br2 and KAuF4, a salt of gold. This is the balanced equation ; 2Au+2BrF3+2Kf=Br2+2KAuF4
(a) Assign oxidation numbers to each Au and Br atom involved in this reaction. SHOW WORK/EXPLAIN REASONING.
(b) Write the complete chemical formula of the oxidizing agent.
(c) Calculate the min mass of gold required to produce 73.5g of the KAuF4 product. Thank you!!
