© Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 4 of 47 Balancing Redox Equations > Identifying Redox Reactions If the oxidation number of an element in a reacting species changes, then that element has undergone either oxidation or reduction. Therefore, the reaction as a whole must be a redox reaction. 20.3

Slide 12 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations How are changes in oxidation numbers used to balance a redox equation? What is the procedure for balancing a redox equation using half-reactions? 20.3

Slide 13 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations Using Oxidation-Number Changes In the oxidation-number-change method, you balance a redox equation by comparing the increases and decreases in oxidation numbers. 20.3

Slide 14 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations To use the oxidation-number-change method, start with the skeleton equation for the redox reaction. 20.3

Slide 15 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations Step 1 Assign oxidation numbers to all the atoms in the equation. 20.3

Slide 16 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations Step 2 Identify which atoms are oxidized and which are reduced. Step 3 Use one bracketing line to connect the atoms that undergo oxidation and another such line to connect those that undergo reduction. 20.3

© Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 17 of 47 Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations In a balanced redox equation, the total increase in oxidation number of the species oxidized must be balanced by the total decrease in the oxidation number of the species reduced. 20.3

Slide 18 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations Step 4 Make the total increase in oxidation number equal to the total decrease in oxidation number by using appropriate coefficients. 20.3

Slide 19 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations Step 5 Finally, make sure that the equation is balanced for both atoms and charge. 20.3

Slide 25 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations Using Half-Reactions A half-reaction is an equation showing just the oxidation or just the reduction that takes place in a redox reaction. In the half-reaction method, you write and balance the oxidation and reduction half- reactions separately before combining them into a balanced redox equation. 20.3

© Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Slide 26 of 47 Balancing Redox Equations > Two Ways to Balance Redox Equations To balance a redox reaction using half- reactions, write separate half-reactions for the oxidation and the reduction. After you balance atoms in each half-reaction, balance electrons gained in the reduction with electrons lost in the oxidation. 20.3

Slide 42 of 47 © Copyright Pearson Prentice Hall Balancing Redox Equations > Choosing a Balancing Method Balancing by oxidation number change usually works well if the oxidized and reduced species appear only once on each side of the equation. Balancing by the half-reaction method works best in redox reactions where the same element is both oxidized and reduced and in reactions that take place in acidic or alkaline solution. 20.3
