⭕️Identity and separate out the oxidation and reduction.
⭕️Now, add the required number of electrons on correct side.
✔️✔️Note :-
➖Oxidation electron will be on RHS.
➖ Reduction electron will be on LHS.
⭕️Balance each 1/2 reaction with respect to charge and mass using the medium given.
⭕️Equate the number of electrons on both sides.
⭕️Now finally add both the half recations!!!!!!
⭕️DONE!!!!!!!

Que) How to balance redox reactions by the ion electron method?
Step 1. Write down the unbalanced equation
Step 2. Separate the redox reaction into half-reactionsa) Assign oxidation numbers for each atomb) Identify and write out all redox couples in reactionc) Combine these redox couples into two half-reactions
Step 3. Balance the atoms in each half reactiona) Balance all other atoms except H and Ob) Balance the oxygen atoms with H2Oc) Balance the hydrogen atoms with H+d) In a basic medium, add one OH-to each side for every H+
step 4. Balance the charge with e-
Step 5: Make electron gain equivalent to electron loss in the half-reactions
Step 6: Add the half-reactions together
Step 7: Simplify the equationFinally, check that the elements and charges are balanced
