When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients, the coefficient for the iodide ion will be . I–(aq) + NO3–(aq) → NO(g) + I2(s) (acidic solution)

When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients, the coefficient for the iodide ion will be __6__.

Explanation:

From the redox equation, we can see that NO₃⁻ is reduced to NO (from oxidation state +5 to +2), whereas I⁻ is oxidized to I₂ (from oxidation state -1 to 0). The half reactions are balanced with H⁺ (acidic solution), as follows:

Reduction :        2 x (NO₃⁻(aq) + 3 e-  + 4 H⁺ → NO(g) + 2 H₂O)

Oxidation :                                   3 x (2 I⁻(aq) → I₂(s) + 2 e-)

Total equation: 6 I⁻(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq)+ 8 H⁺ → 3 I₂(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O

That is the redox equation with the smallest whole number coefficients.

Accordin to this, the coefficient for the iodide ion (I⁻) is: 6.

to be fair, you have to have a very high iq to understand rick and morty. the humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. there's also rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from narodnaya volya literature, for instance. the fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about life. as a consequence people who dislike rick & morty truly are idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in rick's existential catchphrase "wubba lubba dub dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to turgenev's russian epic fathers and sons. i'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as dan harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. what fools.. how i pity them.

and yes, by the way, i do have a rick & morty tattoo. and no, you cannot see it. it's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 iq points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. nothin personnel kid

nacl is added to the aqueous of what? ? in order to get a proper answer you have to specify the exact composition of the aqueous solution.
