Balance Redox Equations in Acid Example 2 (Advanced)

We'll go step by step through how to balance an oxidation reduction (redox) reaction in acidic solution. This example is advanced. Most importantly, both charges and atoms must balance. Here are the steps: first, calculate oxidations numbers for all the elements in the equation. Next, figure out what is being oxidized and what is being reduced. Then, write half reactions for the oxidation and reduction. After that, balance each half reaction: first, for the atoms other than O and H, then for O and H, and finally for charge by adding electrons. After being balanced, the oxidation and reduction half reactions are ready to be added back to together. Make sure that the number of electrons is the same in the oxidation and reduction half reactions. If they are not, multiply one or both of the half reactions to make the number of electrons the same. Then, combine the oxidation and reduction half reaction, canceling out stuff that appears on both sides of the equation. Lastly, do a final check to make sure that everything balances: both atoms and charge.

    Professor DeWitt, Your videos are helping me so much. I did horrible in Chemistry during high school. I got off with the wrong foot with the subject. Now, I'm in college, and I stumbled upon your videos when I needed some clarification with gas laws. They were so helpful. You have gotten me to enjoy this subject. I love it! I took my first Chemistry exam in college last week. Got the result back tonight, and got a 92%! The class average was 60%. I'm amazed. It's all thanks to YOU!
