For the balanced reaction , Why is n=1? Shouldn't it be n=2? Top Chem_Mod Posts: 24648 Joined: Thu Aug 04, 2011 1:53 pm Has upvoted: 1267 times

It is a one electron process. One electron is needed per one atom. Top 904826427 Posts: 16 Joined: Wed Sep 21, 2016 2:55 pm

2H+ +2e- --> H2 can simply be reduced to H+ +e- ---> HThis would make it n=1 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Post Reply
