Balancing Equations
Goal
The Oxidation Number Method
Review the oxidation number method for balancing redox reactions and practise
using this method.
Procedure On a separate sheet of paper, balance the following equations using the oxidation
number method. Assume neutral conditions. Refer to the above concept organizer for
the steps of the oxidation number method.
1. NaI + HClO → NaIO3 + HCl
2. I2 + HNO3 → HIO3 + NO2 + H2O
3. C3H8O + CrO3 + H2SO4 → Cr2(SO4)3 + C3H6O + H2O
4. KCl + MnO2 + H2SO4 → K2SO4+ MnSO4 + Fe2 (SO4)3 + H2O
5. Cu + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O + SO2
6. Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2S + H2O
