The Oxidation Number Method for Balancing Equations

Review the oxidation number method for balancing redox reactions and practise using this method.

Goal The Oxidation Number 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
