Question

Balance the following redox reaction by adding the coefficients for each of the species.

 

Al(s)+F2(g)→Al3+(aq)+F(aq)

 

When I first answered this question I put a 2 in front of the F on the product side. After submitting my answer the program said that it was incorrect. Before sending in a question I found the problem on bartleby and it said that putting a 2 in front of the F on the product side would make my answer correct. What am I missing? Sorry about my first question, I meant to include the equation.
