Unit 8 Balancing Redox Equations
Balancing Redox Reactions Assign oxidation states to determine what is being oxidized and reduced Write the reduction and oxidation half reactions. Reduction Oxidation Balance all atoms except O and H Balance all atoms except O and H Combine and simplify Balance oxygen with H2O Balance oxygen with H2O Balance hydrogen with H+ Balance hydrogen with H+ Balance charge with e- Balance charge with e- Make sure that number of e- in both reactions are equal
