Balancing Redox Reactions:Use separate sheet of paper!Using the rules for determining oxidation numbers find the oxidation numbers for all the elements in each of the substances. Oxidation numbers can have fractions, for example, NaO2 : Na = +1; O = -1/2.
1. K2SO4 K ___; S ___ ; O ___ 3. Al2O3 Al ___; O ___ 5.CH3F C ___; H __; F __2. KMnO4 K ___; Mn ___; O ___ 4. CaH2 Ca___; H ___ 6. HSbF6 H__; Sb___; F__
Balance the reactionsBalance the following reactions. Write the balanced half reactions. Identify the oxidation and the reduction, as well as the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.Show all work!
For example; Mn2+ + ClO3 + H2O MnO2 + Cl + H+Oxidation # +2 +5 -2 +1 -2 +4 -2 -1 1+ {Mn and Cl are changing
ox. numbers}
Oxidation : Mn2+ MnO2 + 2e reducing agent = Mn2+Reduction : ClO3 + 6e Cl oxidizing agent = ClO3
(loses Os)Balanced electrons: 3Mn2+ + ClO3 3MnO2 + Cl Balance charge: 3Mn2+ + ClO3 3MnO2 + Cl + 6H+Balance Hs & Os: 3Mn2+ + ClO3 + 3H2O 3MnO2 + Cl + 6H+
{if basic reaction with OH, add another step. Add OH to both sides & H++OH=H2O}Balance OH with H+: 3Mn2+ + ClO3 + 3H2O 3MnO2 + Cl + 6H+ (+ 6 OH to both sides) 6OH + 3Mn2+ + ClO3 + 3H2O 3MnO2 + Cl + 6H2O(adjust H2O to one side) 6OH + 3Mn2+ + ClO3 3MnO2 + Cl + 3 H2O
