When the following equation is balanced properly under acidic conditions, what are the coefficients of the species shown?

Co + Cu₂+=Co₂+ + Cu+

Water appears in the balanced equation as a fill in the blank (reactant, product, neither) with a coefficient of . (Enter 0 for neither.)

How many electrons are transferred in this reaction?

The balanced reaction must be Co + 2 Cu 2+ => Co 2+ + 2 Cu+

Two electrons are transferred.
