Chlorate ions oxidise iron(II) ions in acid. You will use the electrons gained and lost to find how many ions react, and then the number of ions the equation needs.
The idea. One chlorine atom goes from in chlorate to in chloride, a gain of 6 electrons. One iron(II) ion loses 1 electron. The numbers of ions must make the electrons equal.
Your tasks.
total to the smallest number of electrons that both gained and lost divide into.n_ox to the number of chlorate ions that react.n_red to the number of iron(II) ions that react.h_plus to the number of ions needed on the left, so that the charge is the same on both sides.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
