To balance redox reactions, we must first understand how to assign oxidation numbers. Once we understand how to do that, the next thing is to remember the following rules on how to balance redox …
How to identify redox reactions
To identify a redox reaction, we must first calculate the oxidation number of each atom in the reaction. If there is a change in oxidation number, then the reaction is a redox reaction. If there is no …
What is the shortcut method for assigning oxidation states?
The oxidation bookkeeping method is a reliable way of determining the oxidation number of an atom. However, it usually requires electronegativity values and an electron dot …
