Q

list the steps of balancing the reaction through oxidation number

A
  1. count the oxidation number of each reactants and products
  2. calculate the change in the oxidation numbers from reactants to products
  3. Crisscross the change in the oxidation number
  4. balance the atoms
  5. balance the H and O atoms

Q

list the steps of balancing the reox reactions by ion electron method

A
  1. split redox reaction into oxidation half and reduction half
  2. balance all elements except H and O, balance O using H2O, balance H using using H+, Balance the charge using electrons
