[supradedupra]

here is the problem:



I followed an example in the book and got the following:

CrI3+ 11 Cl2+ 32 OH -> CrO4+ 3 IO4 + 16 H2O + 22 Cl

But, when I try to submit the answer (32 L) it tells me that it is incorrect.  I am truly stumped.  I have asked just about everyone I am in contact with and they all look at my work and see that i have balanced the equation, so they don't understand what I have done wrong.

I used the Half-Reaction method to get that answer.  Please help

Your charges aren't even balanced.

I reworked it backwards and I found that I had put my chlorine as having a charge of 1e- instead of 2e-. which gave me half an answer...

I went back and put 64L in and it was correct. So I came back and you also found my flaw... thank you very much


Thanks for your help
