Use the method of half-reaction to complete and balance the following redox reaction, and determine how many moles of electrons are transferred according to the balanced reaction. clo−4 no2(g)⟶cl2(g) no−3(aq)

Total 14 electrons are transferred.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction:  

Reduction half reaction:  

As,  is loosing 1 electron and  is gaining 14 electrons. Thus,

Balancing this:-

Oxidation half reaction:  

Reduction half reaction:  

Hence, total 14 electrons are transferred.

answer is a
