Balance the red-ox Reactions Half-Reaction Method (ref: Textbook, pg 401) o Divide the whole reaction into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction Balance elements other than h and o first ③UseH2 o to balance c Use H+ to balance h 6 Use e to balance charge 6 In basic solution add oh- to each side to neutralize h+ shown. Combine OH- and Ht to form H2o o Combine the two half-reactions together and simplify 8Balance the Red-ox Reactions z Half-Reaction Method (ref: Textbook, pg.401 ) ① Divide the whole reaction into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half and a reduction half-reaction; reaction; ② Balance elements other than H and O first; ③ Use H 2O to balance O; ④ Use H + Use H to balance H; to balance H; ⑤ Use e- to balance charge; ⑥ In basic solution, add OH- to each side to neutralize H + shown. Combine OH- and H + to form H 2 O; ⑦ Combine the two half-reactions together and simplify. 8
