Document Summary

Redox: an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction are both taking place. You need to balance both the atoms and the charges: assign oxidation numbers & identify what"s being oxidized/reduced. H: +1 except when in a hydride (nah, lih, kh, etc. then h = -1) N gained electrons from i, n was reduced, i was the reducing agent. I was oxidized, lost electrons to n, n was the oxidizing agent: split reaction into 2 half reactions. + 2h+ + 1e- no2 + h2o: combine the 2 reactions, multiple each half reaction by _____ so that the electrons cancel, simplify by canceling out species that occur on both sides. + 2h+ + 1e- no2 + h2o] 6h2o + i2 + 10e- + 20h + 10no3 2io3 + 12h + 10e + 10no2 + 10h2o. Cl: goes from +4 to +3, gains electrons, reduced by o, o is reducing agent.
