How to Balance Redox Equations in Acidic Solution

  • We'll go step by step through how to balance an oxidation reduction (redox) reaction in acidic solution. Most importantly, both charges and atoms must balance. Here are the steps: first, calculate oxidations numbers for all the elements in the equation. Next, figure out what is being oxidized and what is being reduced. Then, write half reactions for the oxidation and reduction. After that, balance each half reaction: first, for the atoms other than O and H, then for O and H, and finally for charge by adding electrons. After being balanced, the oxidation and reduction half reactions are ready to be added back to together. Make sure that the number of electrons is the same in the oxidation and reduction half reactions. If they are not, multiply one or both of the half reactions to make the number of electrons the same. Then, combine the oxidation and reduction half reaction, canceling out stuff that appears on both sides of the equation. Lastly, do a final check to make sure that everything balances: both atoms and charge.

    This was by far the best explanation I've seen for this topic. I've gone through textbooks, other videos, websites and even "chemistry for dummies" and none of those sources clarified the objective and process so clearly. Thank you very much. You have quite a talent for simplifying confusing subjects.

    I never learn in class because my teacher thinks that if the same five people in the class know how to do it surely we must all, I am pretty afraid to ask and surprised how simple it is without having the same kids tell out the answer before I even try solving it 😊😊😊❤❤ thank you!

    I am a freshman engineering student taking the second semester of general chem. I was having a really tough time with balancing redox reactions. Thank you so much for this video, I can now escape the temptation to throw my notebook across the room!
    By the way, I have an exam tomorrow and because of you, I feel like I'll do much better!
