Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Balancing Redox reactions in Basic solutions.
2
Learn how to balance redox reactions in acidic solutions.
There are nine guidelines to balancing redox reactions in acidic solutions. Basic Solutions have just two more steps. The steps comes in right after balancing hydrogen with the adding of hydrogen ions. It is not difficult. Actually, it is fun.
3
Balance KMnO4 (aq) + Na2SO3 (s) MnO2 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq)
There are eleven guidelines to balancing redox reactions in basic solutions
4
Guideline #1: Separate reaction into half-reactions.
Identify what is being oxidized and reduced and write the half-reactions. Ex. KMnO4 (aq) + Na2SO3 (s) MnO2 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq) Mn: reduced, goes from +7 to +4 O: Neither, it remains -2 S: oxidized, goes from +4 to +6 K and Na: Neither, they remain +1 KMnO4 MnO2 Na2SO3 Na2SO4
5
Guideline #2: Balance all elements except hydrogen and oxygen.
Balance elements, except hydrogen and oxygen, in each half reaction. KMnO4 MnO2 KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ Na2SO3 Na2SO4
6
Add water to balance oxygen in each half reaction.
Guideline #3: Add Water. Add water to balance oxygen in each half reaction. KMnO4 MnO2 KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4
7
Guideline #4: Add Hydrogen ions.
Add hydrogen ions to balance hydrogens in each half reaction. KMnO4 MnO2 KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O 4H+ + KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4 + 2H+
8
Guideline #5: Add Hydroxide ions.
Add the same number of OH- ions as H+ ions. Do this to both sides of half-rxn. Important! KMnO4 MnO2 KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O 4H+ + KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O 4OH- + 4H+ + KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O + 4OH- Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4 + 2H+ 2OH- + H2O+ Na2SO3 Na2SO4 + 2H+ +2e- +2OH-

Guideline #6: Reduce Water .
After forming water from H+ and OH- reduce the water from both sides of the half-reactions. KMnO4 MnO2 KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O 4H+ + KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O 4OH- + 4H+ + KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O + 4OH- 4 H2O + KMnO4 MnO2 + K+ + 2H2O + 4OH- Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4 H2O + Na2SO3 Na2SO4 + 2H+ 2OH- + H2O+ Na2SO3 Na2SO4 + 2H+ +2e- +2OH- 2OH- + H2O+ Na2SO3 Na2SO4 + 2 H2O

Guideline #7: Add electrons.
Add electrons to balance charges in the half-reactions.

15
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.
