Question
**Balancing the Chemical Equation**

**Problem Statement:**
When the following equation is balanced properly under basic conditions, what are the coefficients of the species shown?

\[ \text{I}_2 + \text{Cl}^- \rightarrow \text{I}^- + \text{Cl}_2 \]

**Questions:**
1. Water appears in the balanced equation as a [ ] (reactant, product, neither) with a coefficient of [ ]. (Enter 0 for neither.)
2. How many electrons are transferred in this reaction? [ ]

**Instructions:**
- Identify and fill in the correct coefficients for each chemical species in the reaction under basic conditions.
- Determine if water is a reactant, product, or neither, and specify its coefficient.
- Calculate how many electrons are transferred during the reaction. 

**Note:**
Ensure the charge and mass are balanced on both sides of the equation. This typically involves equal numbers of atoms for each element and the same total charge.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Introduce to the concept of redox reaction

The simultaneous occurring of the oxidation and reduction reaction is known as the redox reaction 

An oxidation reaction is a reaction where an element will lose electrons to get oxidized. Similarly, a reduction reaction is a reaction where an element gains electrons to get reduced. 

Here we are required to balance the redox reaction
