    The document discusses how to balance redox reactions using the KOHES method. It provides examples of balancing both reduction and oxidation half reactions.

    The KOHES method is used to balance more complicated oxidation and reduction half reactions involving compounds containing O and/or H, in acidic solutions.

    The 5 steps of the KOHES method are: 1) Key element, 2) Oxygen, 3) Hydrogen, 4) Electrons, 5) States.

    ANSWERS

    Unit 2 Chemistry
    Balancing Reduction and Oxidation Half Reactions Using KOHES

    You can use the KOHES method to balance more complicated oxidation and
    reduction half equations involving compounds containing O and/or H, in acidic
    solutions.

    The acronym KOHES stands for:


    Step 1 Key element (eg. Mn, V, Cl) (key element is NOT O or H)
    Step 2 Oxygen, balance by adding H2O
    Step 3 Hydrogen, balance by adding H+ ions
    Step 4 Electrons, balance by adding e- to the more positive side
    Step 5 States, add states (remember e- do NOT have states!)

    Example

    Permanganate ions MnO4- reduced to Mn2+ ions

    Step 1 K MnO4- Mn2+ (Manganese Mn is the Key Element)


    Step 2 O MnO4- Mn2+ + 4H2O (add 4H2O to RHS)
    Step 3 H MnO4- + 8H+ Mn2+ + 4H2O (add 8 H+ to LHS)
    Step 4 E MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- Mn2+ + 4H2O (add 5e- to LHS)
    Step 5 S MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)
