Given information

Redox reaction is given as:

 

.

 

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

We know that, when oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously in a chemical reaction, they are called redox reactions. There are two electrodes i.e. cathode where reduction occurs and the other one is anode where oxidation occurs. 

When oxidation occurs, there is an increase in the oxidation number of the species.   

When reduction occurs, there is a decrease in the oxidation number of the species.  

In the given redox reaction,  is oxidized to  and is reduced to .

Oxidation reaction :

   

Reduction reaction:
