Hi, I've been working on this problem for some time now but absolutely cannot figure out the part two section to this. I'd love some help, thanks!

 

## Redox Reactions

### Identification of Half-Reactions

**(1) Identify each of the following half-reactions as either an oxidation half-reaction or a reduction half-reaction.**

| Half-reaction                   | Identification |
|---------------------------------|----------------|
| Cr(s) → Cr³⁺(aq) + 3e⁻          | Oxidation      |
| Cd²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cd(s)          | Reduction      |


### Writing Balanced Equations

**(2) Write a balanced equation for the overall redox reaction. Use smallest possible integer coefficients.**

The section involves a visual representation to help balance the redox reaction, including the reactants and products:

- Two images depict reactants with labels `A₂` and `A⁰`.
- A reaction arrow pointing to the products follows.
- Two images depict products with labels `A₂` and `A²⁰`.

To support the visual balance:

- The first reactant image shows `A₂` in a box.
- The second reactant image shows `A²` in a box.
- The first product image shows `A₂` in a box.
- The second product image shows `A²` in a box.
