Oxidation Reduction
Balancing Redox
Equations
Fe2+ + MnO4- + H+ Mn2+ + Fe3+ + H2O
1. Assign oxidation numbers to each atom.
2. Determine the elements that get oxidized and reduced.
3. Split the equation into half-reactions.
4. Balance all atoms in each half-reaction, except H and O.
5. Balance O atoms using H2O.
6. Balance H atoms using H+.
7. Balance charge using electrons.
8. Sum together the two half-reactions, so that: e- lost = e- gained
9. If the solution is basic, add a number of OH- ions to each side of
the equation equal to the number of H+ ions shown in the
overall equation. Note that H+ + OH- H2O
Example
Cd is the stronger
Cd2+ (aq) + 2e- Cd (s) E0 = -0.40 V
oxidizer
Cr3+ (aq) + 3e- Cr (s) E0 = -0.74 V Cd will oxidize Cr
Anode (oxidation): Cr (s) Cr3+ (1 M) + 3e- x 2
Cathode (reduction): 2e- + Cd2+ (1 M) Cd (s) x3
2Cr (s) + 3Cd2+ (1 M) 3Cd (s) + 2Cr3+ (1 M)
