The reaction below was carried out in an acidic solution. upper i minus, plus upper i upper o minus subscript 3 right arrow uppe
r i subscript 2. which statement is true about this equation? although it is unbalanced, it can be balanced by using the half-reaction method. it has been balanced by using the half-reaction method. it has been balanced by directly using spectator ions. although it is unbalanced, it can be balanced by directly using spectator ions.
The reaction is an unbalanced redox reaction hence, the reaction can be balanced by using the half-reaction method.
<h3>What is a redox reaction?</h3>
The term redox reaction refers to the reactionnin which electrons are transferred hence one specie is oxidized while the other specie is reduced.
Looking at the reation as shown, we can see that the reaction is an unbalanced redox reaction hence, the reaction can be balanced by using the half-reaction method.
