I dont remember the exact size off the top of my head, but I wont put my sprocket nut on with an impact, it will strip it. Use a torque wrench with the bike in N and someone pressing the rear brake. Dont put the bike in gear when you are doing this.

You shouldnt do it in gear, you risk breaking things in the transmission. Do it with the chain on and tightened. 50 ft/lbs is the torque.
