Question

When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients,the coefficient for the iodide ion will be _____. I^-(aq)+ NO₃^-(aq) $\to$ NO(g)+ I₂(s)(acidic solution)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In acidic solution, the balanced redox reaction is: 6I⁻ + 2NO₃⁻ + 4H⁺ → 2NO + 3I₂ + 2H₂O. The coefficient for the iodide ion (I⁻) is 6.
