Balancing Redox Reactions
A) Oxidation number method: 1. Write correct formula for each reactant & product. Ex: K2Cr2O7 + HCl → KCl + CrCl3 + H2O + Cl2 2. Write oxidation numbers for all elements K+12Cr+62O-27 + H+1Cl-1 → K+1Cl-1 + Cr+3Cl-13 + H+12O-2 + Cl02 3. Calculate the increase or decrease in oxidation number per atom Oxidation Read more about Balancing Redox Reactions[…]
