    Apologies for such a late reply! In question 5, OH- ions are oxidised to O2 and H2O. Firstly, balance the oxygen and the hydrogen atoms which will give you:
    4OH- --> O2 + 2H2O
    Because of this you'll have a total charge of -4 on the left hand side and a total charge of 0 on the right. To balance the charges you'll need to add 4 electrons (e-) to the right hand side giving both sides a charge of -4.
    I hope this clears things up for those of you that had questions.

      This is like from 2 years ago so I highly doubt you will see this but there shouldn't be a 2 in front of the O2 bc then that means theres 4 oxygens on the first side and 6 on the left.

    • @sphchemistry6568
      @sphchemistry6568  6 лет назад

      Hi, it is possible to write half-equations and minus the electrons. However, this becomes a problem when you start to combine two half-equations. Therefore, I would strongly recommend that you try to write half equations by adding the electrons. For example, you could write 2Cl- - 2e- --> Cl2 instead of 2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e- but in my opinion this is less useful in seeing the transfer of the electrons from one species (atom or ion) to another. I hope this helps :)

    • @sphchemistry6568
      @sphchemistry6568  8 лет назад +5

      Hi, I completely understand your question and believe me you are not alone!
      The easiest way to think of this is to imagine that when an atom loses electrons it becomes positively charged (oxidation), therefore, to REDUCE it's charge back to zero it must GAIN electrons. Just think of reduction as the charge decreasing (becoming more negative) and oxidation as charge increasing (becoming more positive).
      Also, sorry for the capitals it's just for emphasis as I can't use bold or italics.
      I hope this helps, SPH.
