Q

What can be used to balance half equations?

A

H+, H2O and e-

18
Q

Why would you use H2O to balance a half equation?

A

If there were more Oxygen on one side unaccounted for, or more Hydrogen

19
Q

How can you balance charges in half equations?

A

By adding electrons to the more positive side

20
Q

When would you use H+ to balance a half equation?

A

To balance the hydrogen after water has been added

21
Q

When combining half equations, what should you make sure?

A

That the number of electrons in each are the same, multiplying them if need be
