Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The coefficient of Co after balancing the given redox reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A species gains or loses electrons to form anions or cations respectively. A gain in electron is classified as a reduction reaction and loss of electron is classified as an oxidation reaction. To keep a track on the loss or gain of an electron, a number is assigned in the form of oxidation number.
