Exercise 6N 1b

[205389184]

In exercise 6N 1b, why is n=2 and not n=1? More specifically, in the solutions manual, it gives the reduction half reaction as: In3+ +2e- --> In2+
but in appendix 2B, it only shows one electron in the previous equation

[Charlyn Ghoubrial 2I]

I think that’s a typo because ln goes from 3+ to 2+ and U goes from 4+ to 3+ so in both cases, one electron is being transferred but I’m not 100% sure

I believe this is a typo! Only one electron is being transferred in each equation, so n should be 1.
