Balancing Redox Equations in Basic Solution Example Problem

A practice problem for how to balance an oxidation reduction (redox) reaction in basic solution. The process is similar to balance an oxidation reduction equation in acidic solution. 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. To get rid of the H+ ions, add OH- (hydroxide) ions to both side. Then combine the H+ and OH- to make water, H2O. Finally, subtract out any H2O molecules you can from both sides of the equations. Lastly, do a final check to make sure that everything balances: both atoms and charge.

    For all those wondering if Tyler stopped KZread , I can half explain. If you go to the Bozeman science channel , and watch his latest video which was uploaded in late feb. He says that he's going on a seminar or something with 3 you tubers on 8 of March , and one of those you tubers was Tyler Dewitt . So that explains he not dead lol.. Our only chance to get Tyler's attention maybe be by commenting on the video and asking Bozeman science to ask Tyler about it. I know this is confusing but hope you got it. Like the comment therefore other can see. Thanks in advance.

    I'd like to say a big thanks to Tyler for helping me pass chemistry. I was on the verge of completely giving up as a failed numerous tests, and i had no hope due to my teacher struggling to teach me. After watching these videos i had a better understanding of chemistry and i finished the year with a B (which was way better than it was previously) and felt great after I completed the class. Thank you so much Tyler.

I might not have money but if i was a billionaire, i would totally support your videos monetarily cos when u think of it, governments waste trillions of dollars employing tens of thousands of teachers, most of which just stand there and read the powerpoint outloud without bothering to explain clearly... if the goverment would just use that money on you and your team....

    pls add a video about preferential discharge ions in electrolysis OH BTW YOUR VIDEO IS THE SAVIOUR OF THE FUTURE GENERATIONS OF SCIENCE LEARNERS!!!! cuz your videos are more understandable with those drawings compared to our pathetic textbooks that our teacher are not bothered to do an experiment about it. we need videos like this more often!!!!

    There are two types of genius. Ordinary geniuses do great things, but they leave you room to believe that you could do the same if only you worked hard enough. Then there are magicians, and you can have no idea how they do it.You are a magician sir.
