Examine the unbalanced electrolytic reaction.

Li+(aq) + Zn(s) → Li(s) + Zn2+(aq)

How many electrons are transferred in the balanced equation?

4
1
2
3

1 answer

First place, this reaction will not occur. But if it did, then
2Li^+ + Zn ==> 2Li + Zn^2+
Is 3 a guess or did you figure out it was 3? I am interested in how you solved the problem.
