$$BrO_3^-(aq) + Zn(s) \rightarrow Br^-(aq) + Zn^{2+}(aq) $$ a) Assign oxidation numbers for each element. Be clear.
b) Reducing agent?
c) Oxidizing agnet?
d) How many electrons do you think should be transferred once balanced correctly? Show your work/logic. Figure it out without balancing the whole equation.

for a) I got (left to right): Br +5, O3 -2, Zn 0, Br -1, Zn +2

anonymous · Answer

b) Zn

And I'm completely stumped for part d.

anonymous · Answer

can you please write the equation here without "equation function" just with plain text because i keep getting "Math error" where equation suposed to be...

anonymous · Answer

|dw:1349891144403:dw|
so it is 6 electrons that are transfered
