Ex. I wanted to ask if you guys out there know how the ligand disassociates in this formula. Trying to figure out what actions/laws do this. Looks like they just do out of nowhere....
2AuCl4- + 3SO2 + 6H2O → 2Au + 3SO4/2- + 8Cl- + 12H+
-unsure what category this falls under, but I assumed electro/magnetism/physics.
Oh wait. Is the SO4 -2 doing that? I get confused, because I thought 2AuCl- would be written like (2Au-Cl4-) / (Au-Cl-), or something like such. I assumed the Au would just be neutral (0) always while by itself, and the chloride salts somehow forced themselves onto it... any more in depth answers on how the chloride salt does that would be enjoyable though.
