Example A:
CrzO; + C20
CO2
Step 1: Write the half-reactions.
C20
Cr2O;
.CO2
Cra
Step 2: Balance each half-equation "atomically" in the order
a) atoms other than H and O
• 2 CQ
2 Cra
Cr20;
b) O atoms by adding H;0. with the appropriate coefficient, H atoms by adding H- with
the appropriate coefficient
C20
Cr2O 14 H*
→ 2 CO2
→2 Cr + 7 H20
Step 3: Examiné the charge on both sides of the half-reaction. To the more positive side, add
the correct number of.electrons (bearing in mind that each electron has a charge of -1), to equalize
the charge with the other side.

• 2e
Cr20, + 14 H* + 6 e
2 Cr* +7 H20
Step 4: Multiply each entire half-reaction by the lowest factor to equalize the number of
Seiectrons lost and gained.
2 CO2 + 2 e ]
Cr20, + 14 H* + 6 e
→2 Cr + 7 H20 ]
Step 5: Obtain the net redox equation by combining the half-equations. Simplify. Cancel
species, which are found in both sides of the equation, then check by inspection
