1 Lesson 5: Balancing Redox Equations
UNIT 7: Lesson 5: Balancing Redox Equations

2 Example Balance Os + IO3- → OsO4 + I2 (in acidic solution). Step 1: Break the equation into two half-reactions. Step 2: Balance each half-reaction. Step 3: Multiply the half-reactions by whole numbers in order to cancel out the electrons. Step 4: Add the two half-reactions. 20 min

3 Brain Break! SUMoku!

4 Your Turn! Balance MnO4- + C2O42- → MnO2 + CO2 in basic solution. (Hint: Convert to basic as your final step.) 20 min

5 Homework: Pg. 207 #24 (a, f, o) 5 min

Balance Redox Equations: Half Reaction concentrate on electrons, balance each ½ rx. separately Ex: Cr 2 O 7 2- (aq) + Cl - (aq)  Cr 3+ (aq) + Cl 2 (g)

Pg 646 - 651. Balancing Redox Reaction  Can use “old” way: Ag (s) + Fe(NO3)3 (aq)  Fe (s) + AgNO3 (aq)  But what if we have a reaction that looks like.

Half-reactions show the oxidation or reduction reaction separated. Cu (s) + 2 AgNO 3(aq) → Cu(NO 3 ) 2(aq) + 2 Ag (s) Oxidation:Cu → Cu 2+ + 2e – Reduction:Ag.
