Given the two half-reactions, what must be done in the next step before the reaction can be balanced? First: upper A u superscript 3 plus right arrow upper A u. Second: upper I superscript minus right arrow Upper I subscript 2. Show the number of electrons being lost or gained. Make sure that the charges are balanced. List the atoms that need to be balanced.

Sagot :

In the first reaction, Gold (Au) gets 3 electrons and became Gold. In the second reaction, Iodine (I) loses 2 electrons and became Iodine.

What are cations and anions?

When the atom loses the election then it is called a cation and when it gains the electron is called an anion.

Two reactions are given.

First reaction;

Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⇒ Au

In the first reaction, Gold (Au) gets 3 electrons and became Gold.

Second reaction;

2I⁻ ⇒ I₂ + 2e⁻

In the second reaction, Iodine (I) loses 2 electrons and became Iodine.

More about the cation and the anion link is given below.
