Half Reaction Method, Balancing Redox Reactions In Basic & Acidic Solution, Chemistry

This chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the half reaction method which is useful for balancing redox reactions in basic solution and in acidic solution. This video shows all the steps needed to balance the oxidation reduction reaction. First, separate the reaction into two half reactions. Balance the number of atoms and the charge on both sides. In acidic solution, you can add H+ and H2O to balance the particles. In Basic solution, you can use OH- and H2O to do so. Add electrons to the side with the highest charge to balance the total charge on both sides of the chemical equation. Make sure the number of electrons are the same on both half reactions before adding the two to get the net reaction and that's it.

[@sansamman4619]

I don’t listen to my teacher, I read the text book, ask the teacher any questions I might have, if their answers leaves me unsatisfied I go on Quora and ask, if still I feel like there is more to it I go read up on the topics that make me curious enough. Then, I solve the problems in the book, and solve extra questions if I can find any. If I feel like I still take too much time on the problems and make mistakes I watch this guy, then I watch Crash Course and a guy called Professor Dave Explains for a better understanding of the concept, after that I watch some Khan Academy videos and go back to the book and re read the topics again, this takes about 3 hours usually at most it would take 5 hours but when I do something like that for a topic it stays in my head for years and I will get perfect marks on whatever exam school might offer.

​@@vasupatel1474 I live in the US. My high school gave students the option to take college chemistry in 11th grade, but if you didn't take it your first exposure to redox reactions would likely be in college. Normal chemistry--a graduation requirement--was taken in one's tenth-grade year at my school, but redox reactions were not touched on.
