HEY BUDDY HERE IS UR ANSWER !!!
Balance the number of atoms of the key element on both sides.
Add the appropriate number of electrons to compensate for the change of oxidation state.
Add H+ (in acid medium), or OH- (in basicmedium), to balance the charge on both sides of the half-reactions; and H2O, if necessary, to balance the equations.
Acidic Conditions.
Solution.
Step 1: Separate the half-reactions.
Step 2: Balance elements other than O and H.
Step 3: Add H2O to balance oxygen.
Step 4: Balance hydrogen by adding protons (H+).
Step 5: Balance the charge of each equation with electrons.
Step 6: Scale the reactions so that the electrons are equal.
