Balancing Redox Reactions

Balance each redox equation. Assume all are spontaneous. Use the half reaction method.

1. O2- + F2 -----------> O2 + F1-

2. Al + O2 -----------> O2- + Al3+

3. 2K + Zn2+ -----------> Zn + K1+

Balance each half reaction in basic solution.

4. Cr2O72- + H2O + 6e- --------------> 14OH- + 2Cr3+

5. NO + OH1- ------------------> H2O + NO3- +3e-

6. H2O + e1- + SO4 2- --------------> SO2 + OH1-

7. MnO2 + H2O + e- --------------> Mn2O3 + OH1-

Balance each redox reaction in acid solution using the half reaction method.

1+8. H1+ + H2O2 + Cr2O7 2- -------> O2 + Cr3+ + H2O

9. TeO3 2 - + N2O4 + H2O -------> Te + NO31+ + H1+

10. H1+ + ReO41- + IO1- -------> IO31- + Re + H2O

11. H1+ + PbO2 + I2 ------->Pb2+ + IO3 1- + H2O

12. H2O+ As -------> H2AsO4 - + AsH3 + H1+

Balance each redox reaction in basic solution using the half reaction method.

13. O2 + OH1- + Cr3+ -------> H2O + H2O2 + Cr2O72-

14. H2O + Te + NO31- ------->TeO3 2- + OH1- + N2O4

15. IO3 - + OH1- + Re -------> ReO41- + IO1- + H2O

16. OH1- + Pb2+ + IO3 - -------> PbO2 + I2 + H2O

17. H2O + Cr2O7 2- + Hg -------> Hg2+ + OH1- + Cr3+ S
