Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced equation for the reaction of treatment of finely divided gold with CN-(aq) in the presence of O2 (g) should be written.

Concept introduction:

The balanced chemical equation can be written by following a few steps:

Step 1: Writing the correct skeleton and molecular formula for the element or molecules on either side of the equation.

Step 2: Counting the number of atoms of each element on either side of the equation.

Step 3: Balancing the number of that atom or group on either side which has large atoms in number.

Step 4: Using the correct coefficients to balance the number of atoms on both sides.
