you use an ore to separate gold from impuritties
gold can have impurities
Nothing, gold does not react with hydrochloric acid, if there are impurities of other metals in gold then impurities may react and form chloride salts.
Removing all of the impurities in the 10 karat gold will leave you with 24 karat gold.
It is processed to separate it from any impurities, cast into ingots then sold as raw material for further processing into the materials for a wide range of applications: bullion, jewellery, electronics components, medical equipment and so on.
You can separate gold from sodium gold chloride by adding zinc powder to the sodium gold chloride and heating the mixture. Then you will be left with just gold.

Distillation and Evaporation
Gold has a crystalline structure.
The answer is in the question. Take 91.6 units of gold and add 8.4 units of impurities. This is equivalent to taking 100 units of gold and adding 100 x 8.4/91.6 = 9.17 units of impurities.
The only time the water is affected in them other chemicals are used to feather separate the gold from impurities. At that point it really isn't panning. In panning all you are doing is using water to wash the heaver gold out of the other silt and gravel in the stream bed.
you melt it down remove the impurities and shape it into what you want.
Removing all of the impurities in the 10 karat gold will leave you with 24 karat gold.
A mixture of gold and denser impurities
It is not obligatory to melt gold in a graphite crucible; generally is important to avoid contamination of gold with impurities from the crucible.
75 g of Gold, everything else are impurities
It is processed to separate it from any impurities, cast into ingots then sold as raw material for further processing into the materials for a wide range of applications: bullion, jewellery, electronics components, medical equipment and so on.
