Given information
An unbalanced redox reaction is given. It must be balanced in basic medium.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
For balancing a redox reaction in basic medium water is added to the oxygen excess side and a double number of is added to the opposite side.
Then the charge is balanced by adding the proper number of electrons on the proper side.
The oxidation and reduction half cell reactions are multiplied and added to get the overall reaction.
