Worksheet: Balancing Redox Reactions (Half-equation method)
The half-equation method separates the oxidation and reduction of a redox reaction in half
reactions. Overall scheme for the half reaction method:
Step 1: Split reaction into half-reactions (reduction and oxidation)
Step 2: Balance the charge or oxidation number with electrons
Step 3: Balance O by adding H2O
Step 4: Balance H by adding H+
Step 5: Multiply by some integer to make electrons (lost) = electrons (gained)
Step 6: Add half equations and cancel substances on both sides
Step 7: (only in basic solution): add OH- and cancel H20
Step 8: Check atom balance and charge balance on both sides of the equation!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Complete and balance the following redox reactions (skeleton equations) using the halfequation method:
1. Zn(s) + H+(aq) ==> Zn2+ + H2(g) (acidic solution)
______________________________________________________ (reduction)
______________________________________________________ (oxidation)
______________________________________________________ (overall)
2. I-(aq) + NO2-(aq) ==> I2 (s) + NO (g) (acidic solution)
______________________________________________________ (reduction)
______________________________________________________ (oxidation)
______________________________________________________ (overall)
3. MnO4-(aq) + Cl- (aq) ==> Mn2+(aq) + Cl2(g) (acidic solution)
______________________________________________________ (reduction)
______________________________________________________ (oxidation)
