Oxidation Numbering Balancing Day 2

By now
-you know the rules for assigning oxidation numbers
   -the always (elemental state =0;alkali = +1; alkaline earth = +2; fluorine=-1)
   -the usual (O=-2, H=+1)
   -the rest
-you know how to balance a redox reaction using oxidation numbers
    -assign oxidaton numbers to all
    -decide what changed
    -temporary balance of what changed
    -determine electron movement & balance redox portion
    -balance the rest

This lesson will follow all of the above rules but with a few added steps.
Theses redox equations will be under acidic or basic conditions. Whether the equation is under acidic or basic conditions must be stated along with the unbalanced equation.

Acidic Conditions:
-follow all of the steps up to the redox portion being balanced, then
    -determine charge on each side
    -balance charges by adding H+ to one side
    -balance H atoms using H2O
 Basic Conditions:
-follow all of the steps up to the redox portion being balanced, then
     -determine charge on each side
     -balance charges by adding OH- to one side
     -balance H by using H2O

Examples can be found on pages 666-667

The follow-up to this lesson are found on the balancing equations handout

Next up: Half Cell Method (aka ion-electron method)
-balancing equations using this 3rd method are different than using oxidation numbers to balance
       -on a test/quiz the type of balancing to be used will be stated
       -it is expected that equation will be balanced using the prescribed method
       -if the prescribed method is not followed, a mark penalty will result
