Teacher: explains half equations for the third time Me: I don't get it Machemguy: speaks for 30 seconds Me: oh that makes sense now!

You have literally turned my life around machemguy! I was struggling with chemistry at the start of this year getting D's/E's in my mocks. After watching your videos and some hard work, I just achieved an A in my recent mock! Thank you so much for the making these videos

What's your suggestion and tips for us!?

Sir, you are a lifesaver!!! I thought it would be impossible for me to do half-equations before watching your video. Thanks for allowing me to achieve an extra 2/3 marks in the exam.

I had lots of trouble understanding this due to the rushed explanation of my teacher. Its’s makes so much sense now. You truly are a lifesaver!

This was so helpful, didn't understand it before now i do thank you!!!

Wow that made it so simple I was extremely confused with this because I was taught to look at oxidation state first and I never got it... Thank you!!

your a legend just saying

I finally understand this!! A day before the exam.. better late than never haha thank you so so much for all your videos!

I swear to god that I love you. Thank you for your brilliant explanation. Absolutely fab, you just made my chemistry so easy!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used to find these impossible with my previous method but it's so much easier now!

the best video to exist! thank you so much

wow i read a whole explanation and still didnt understand yet this short video cleared everything up. thanks so much legend, i subscribed

The Best chemistry teacher I ever had. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for this, I wasn't taught this properly and was always confused with what to do with oxidation states, but now understand this so well :)

Thank you so much, my chemistry teacher did not explain it this well!

I've got my chemistry exam tomorrow and this video really helped my knowledge on half equations!

Thank you for this :) we had one pop up in a mock the other day and this was the only vid I could find that explained them

the explanation is simple and perfect bro it was very helpful...

Very nice explanation!

Please do a video on more complicated balancing equation questions. Such as when you aren't given the half equations or when you are given the full equation and one half equation and asked to find the other half equation, some of the past paper questions are horrible!

Well explained. Thanks

Thank you so much for this video! :D

Don't do it. Chemistry rocks!

What is the reason for only being allowed to use water and hydrogen ions to balance the equation?

Hi, are all the colour changes due to the formation of a percipitate?

Thanks for clarification but could you please attach the whiteboard to a wall or somehow that We can see it straight thanks

What about if it gives you a complete equation and a reducing half equation?

Hello, I have a quick question(s): If I had an even number of H+ on both sides of the equation could I just cancel them out? Another problem that I have is that I can vaguely remember watching somewhere that H+ can be taken over to the other side of an equation to join another H+. Consequently the number of H+ will reduce because taking the H+ will change the sign to a negative? Is this correct? And if so which side will it go to? I'm assuming the smaller number of H+ will join the larger number on the opposite side? If they were originally on the same side I just add them up like like terms in maths? I hope I have explained my question clearly and I thank you in advance for taking time to answer it. Thanks, Salsabil

you are a life saver! my teacher explained it in such a confusing way.. one less thing to worry about! thankssss

Thank you ! i was doing these with oxidation states and was making it so much more complicated. So do I just avoid OH- ions unless it says alkaline conditions?

Thank you

thank you so much

Well I've been thinking about it all wrong haha. Thanks.

Hi there, just about the point you made where we should only add H+ or H2O, I seem to remember comming across questions where under basic conditions you would need to add OH- ions, how would you go about balancing this kind of question?

This was really helpful thank you. But what one question I didn’t understand was the last one if there were 8 hydrogens on the right side shouldn’t you add 6 hydrogen ions on the other side because the H2S04 already has two hydrogens. Thank you

I don't get why it can't be 3+ oh the lhs because each CR is ^+ on LHS and on 3+ on RHS so 6-3=3

If you’re referring to the second example, it’s says it’s in acidic conditions so we use H+ ions
