How many electrons are transferred in IrO2 to Ir3+ reaction ?
Accepted Answer
In the reaction IrO2 to Ir3+, three electrons are transferred. Here's why:
IrO2: Iridium (Ir) has a +4 oxidation state in IrO2.
Ir3+: Iridium has a +3 oxidation state in the Ir3+ ion.
Electron Transfer: To go from +4 to +3, iridium must gain one electron. However, since the reaction involves a single iridium atom, a total of three electrons are transferred to balance the charges.
