Question

Balance the following redox reaction by ion electron method​

Answer 1

Steps for balancing reaction by ion electron method in acidic medium

OHR(oxidation half r reaction):

1) Write oxidation reaction

2) Balance the atoms other than 'O' and 'H'

3) Balance the 'O' atoms by adding H2O

4) Balance the 'H' atoms by adding H+

5) Balance the charges

6) Equalize the charges(eq 1)

RHR(Reduction half reaction):

1) Write Reduction reaction

2) Balance the atoms other than 'O' and 'H'

3) Balance the 'O' atoms by adding H2O

4) Balance the 'H' atoms by adding H+

5) Balance the charges

6) Equalize the charges(eq 2)

7) Adding both equations
