This problem set was developed by S.E. Van Bramer for Chemistry 145 at Widener University . Assign oxidation numbers to each element in the reactants and in the products. Identify what is being oxidized and what is being reduced. Balance the following redox reactions using both the half reaction and the oxidation number methods.
Solid aluminum reacts with solid iodine to produce solid aluminum iodide.
Aqueous silver nitrate reacts with solid copper metal to produce solid silver and aqueous copper nitrate.
