In the balanced equation for the following redox equation, what is the sum of the coefficients? Fe³⁺ + I^- $\rightarrow$ Fe²⁺ + I₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to balance the equation by adding coefficients to each compound until the number of each type of atom is equal on both sides. Fe^{3 +} + I^- + F1F1F1S1 → F1F1F10 + Fe^{2 +} + I₂ To find the sum of coefficients, we add up the coefficients in front of each compound on one side of the equation. Since we balanced the equation, these coefficients should be equal to the sum of coefficients on the other side of the equation. Sum of coefficients on left side: 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4 Sum of coefficients on right side: 1 + 1 + 10 + 1 = 13 Therefore, the sum of coefficients is 4 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 7, which corresponds to choice (D).
