Question
**Balancing Redox Reactions in Basic Solution**

**Objective:** Balance the reaction between \( \text{F}^- \) and \( \text{HgO} \) to form \( \text{Hg} \) and \( \text{F}_2 \) in basic solution.

**Instructions:**
- When you have balanced the equation using the smallest integers possible, enter the coefficients for the species shown. Enter "1" if the coefficient is "1".

**Equation:**  
\[ \Box \, \text{F}^- + \Box \, \text{HgO} \rightarrow \Box \, \text{Hg} + \Box \, \text{F}_2 \]

**Additional Information:**
- Determine if water appears in the balanced equation as a (reactant, product, neither) and provide the coefficient. (Enter 0 for neither.)
- Calculate how many electrons are transferred in this reaction.

**Blank Fields:**
- Coefficients for \(\text{F}^-\), \(\text{HgO}\), \(\text{Hg}\), \(\text{F}_2\)
- Role of water: reactant, product, neither
- Number of electrons transferred.
