Answered by maham237 @



Answer and explanation;

  • Balancing redox reactions involves first knowing the half-reactions of the involved reactants. Balancing redox reactions uses Half equation Method to balance redox reactions.
  • In half equation method, the equation is separated into two half-equations; one for oxidation and one for reduction.
  • The first step of balancing redox reactions is to separate the reaction into half-reactions. The substance being reduced will have electrons as reactants, and the oxidized substance will have electrons as products.
