Example:

1. Which of the following is the reduction of the electrolytic half reaction(rxn) occurring at the Anode?
2. 3I^- à I₃ + 2e-
3. I₃^- + 2e- à 3I^-
4. I₃^- + 2e- à I₃^- + 2e-
5. I₂ (aq) + I^- (aq) à I₃^- (aq)
6. what it should be below:
7. it should be;

Hi

In new quizzes, use \(\rightarrow\) to get the right arrow. In classic quizzes, use the square root of x symbol and choose the arrow tab.

Canvas has document about using the Equation Editor for Chemistry. You may find additional tips inside it.

It was linked from the https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-26460-how-do-i-use-the-math-editor-in-the-rich-content-edit... lesson in the Canvas Instructor Guide.
