Document Summary

Chem112 lecture 34 complex redox reactions, batteries, and fuel cells. Sometimes water, protons, or hydroxide, need to be added when polyatomic oxo- cations or oxo-anions are present. Since the oxidation half is less complicated, do it first! Mn2: you should get fe2+ fe3+ + e- Now comes the complex part: first, figure out the charges. )(-8)-1 2: thus, the charge on mn must be +7 in order to make sense of mno4, now, balance the atoms. Mn2+ + 4 h2o: oxygen is now balanced, but now we introduced hydrogen. That is okay, because we can balance hydrogen with h+ Mn2+ + 4 h2o: now that the mass is balanced, balance the charge, since we are going from +7 to +2, there must be 5 electrons applied to the reactants. + 5 e- mn2+ + 4 h2o: now put everything together. + 5 e- mn2+ + 4 h2o: get the same number of electrons.
