Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Balancing Redox reactions in Acidic solutions.
2
Learn how to balance redox reactions in acidic solutions.
There are ten guidelines to balancing redox reactions in acidic solutions
3
Balance FeO (aq) + Al (s) Fe (s) + Al2O3 (aq)
There are nine guidelines to balancing redox reactions in acidic solutions
4
Guideline #1: Separate reaction into half-reactions.
Identify what is being oxidized and reduced and write the half-reactions. Ex. FeO (aq) + Al (s) Fe (s) + Al2O3 (aq) Fe: reduced, goes from +2 to 0 O: Neither, it remains -2 Al: oxidized, goes from 0 to +3 FeO Fe Al Al2O3
5
Guideline #2: Balance all elements except hydrogen and oxygen
Balance elements, except hydrogen and oxygen, in each half reaction. FeO Fe Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3
6
Add water to balance oxygen in each half reaction.
Guideline #3: Add water. Add water to balance oxygen in each half reaction. FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3
7
Guideline #4: Add Hydrogen ions.
Add hydrogen ions to balance hydrogens in each half reaction. FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+
8
Guideline #5: Add electrons.
Add electrons to balance charges in the half-reactions. FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 2e- + 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ +6e-
9
Guideline #6: Equal out electrons.
Multiply half-reactions by whole numbers to equal electrons. FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 2e- + 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO 3Fe + 3H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ +6e-
10
Guideline #7: Add the two half-reactions.
Add reactants with reactants, products with products. 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO +3H2O + 2Al 3Fe + 3H2O + Al2O3 + 6H+ +6e- FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 2e- + 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO 3Fe + 3H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ +6e-
11
Guideline #8: Cancel common reactants and products.
Cancel reactants and products that show up on both sides of the yield sign. 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO +3H2O + 2Al 3Fe + 3H2O + Al2O3 + 6H+ + 6e- FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 2e- + 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO 3Fe + 3H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ +6e-
12
Guideline #9: Rewrite Balanced Equation.
Rewrite the Balanced Chemical Equation and box in the answer. 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO +3H2O + 2Al 3Fe + 3H2O + Al2O3 + 6H+ + 6e- 3FeO (aq) + 2Al (s) 3Fe (s)+ Al2O3 (aq) FeO Fe FeO Fe + H2O 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 2e- + 2H+ + FeO Fe + H2O 6e- + 6H+ + 3FeO 3Fe + 3H2O Al Al2O3 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ 3H2O + 2Al Al2O3 + 6H+ +6e-
13
Practice Follow the steps. Realize that the practice is to help with the steps and sometimes demonstrate when steps may not be needed. Practice is to reinforce the guidelines, and may be easier than problems on a quiz or assessment.
14
Practice #1: H2 (g) + F2 (g) HF (g)
15
Practice #2: Fe (s) + CuSO4 (aq) Cu (s) + Fe2(SO4)3 (aq)
16
Practice #3: Mn+2 (aq) + NaBiO3 (s) Bi+3 (aq) + MnO4-1 (aq)
Mn+2 (aq) + NaBiO3 (aq) Bi+3 (aq) + MnO4-1 (aq)
