Question

Consider the following unbalanced oxidation-reduction reaction: Fe²⁺ + Br₂$\to$Fe³⁺ + Br^- In the balanced equation,the number of electrons transferred is A)1 B)3 C)2 D)4 E)none of these

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the balanced redox reaction, each Fe²⁺ ion loses 1 electron to become Fe³⁺, and each Br₂ molecule gains 2 electrons to form 2 Br^- ions. Therefore, 2 electrons are transferred in total.
