H2(g) + I2(g) → 2HI(g) I was given this problem: A student makes the following statements: Hydrogen always has the same oxidation number, so it has an oxidation number of +1 in both the reactant H2 and product HI. Iodine is in Group VIIA, so it has an oxidation number of –1 in both the reactant I2 and product HI. Neither hydrogen nor iodine changes oxidation states, so the reaction is not a redox reaction. How can I describe the mistake that the student made, and determine whether or not the reaction is a redox reaction.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is defined as the process of breaking down ionic compounds into their constituent elements by passing a direct electric current through the compound in a fluid state. The cathode reduces cations, while the anode oxidizes anions. An electrolyte, electrodes, and some form of external power source are the main components required for conducting electrolysis. A partition, such as an ion-exchange membrane or a salt bridge, may also be used, but this is optional. These are primarily used to prevent the products from diffusing near the opposing electrode.
