In a redox reaction, electron could be lost or gained. The coefficients in the balanced redox reaction are;  1/2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1.

What is a redox reaction equation?

A redox reaction equation shows the species that were oxidized or reduced in a redox reaction. In this case, we are asked for the coefficients in a balanced redox reaction equation.

We must recall that five electrons were lost/gained in the process hence the balanced reaction equation is;

1/2I2 + 5HNO3 -----> IO3^- + 5NO2 + 2H2O + H^+

The coefficients in the balanced equation therefore are; 1/2, 5, 1, 5, 2, 1.

What are redox reactions?

In redox reaction, there is transfer of electrons between the species of the reactions.

The given redox reaction is

[tex]\rm I2 (s) + HNO_3 (aq) -- > HIO_3 (aq) + NO_2 (g) + H_2O[/tex]

To find coefficient of the compounds of the reaction, there are coefficient calculator present.

Thus, the coefficient for nitrogen dioxide will be 10.
