Question

Can you clarify how to determine which half-reaction in a redox reaction is the oxidized and which is the reduced? How do you know how many electrons are transferred to obtain an equal transfer?

Example 19.1.2
Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents in this reaction.
HNO₂(aq) → HNO3(aq) + NO(g) + H₂O(l)
Cl₂(g) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + NaClO3(aq) + 3H₂O(l)
