A gold and phosphorus containing compound with the molecular formula CzHAu;Cl;Pz was treated with ammonium hydraxide and the reaction produced three different products, A, B, and C, according to the unbalanced equation shown below. C HAu,C,P2 + NH,OH(aq) - A+B+C Observations and experimental data: Complete combustion of compound A indicates that by mass it is 34.25% carbon, 3.83% hydrogen, 53.50% gold, and 8.41% phosphorus. Compound A is a high molecular weight solid. Mass spectrometry for a pure sample of A gives a molecular ion peak at 2945.35 m/z. Compound B is a white ionic solid that is soluble in water. Compound Cis a liquid. Challenge: Write an overall balanced equation for the reaction above and classify the reaction as a) acid-base, b) precipitation, or c) redox. Provide a brief explanation for how you arrived at your balanced equation and classification of the reaction type.
