Explanation We have the following redox reaction: P b O 2 ( s ) + I − ( a q ) → P b + 2 ( a q ) + I 2 ( s ) Step 1: Separate the overall reaction into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and one for reduction. O x i d a t i o n : I − ( a q ) → I 2 ( s ) Reduction : P b O 2 ( s ) → P b + 2 ( a q ) Step 2: Balance the elements, excluding H, O. O x i d a t i o n : 2 I − ( a q ) → I 2 ( s ) Reduction : P b O 2 ( s ) → P b + 2 ( a q ) Step 3: Balance the elements H, O. O x i d a t i o n : 2 I − ( a q ) → I 2 ( s ) Reduction : P b O 2 ( s ) + 4 H + ( a q ) → P b + 2 ( a q ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) In these half-reactions, all elements are balanced, including H, O. Hence, in the next step we need to balance the charge. Step 4: Balance each half-reaction with respect to charge by adding electrons. O x i d a t i o n : 2 I − ( a q ) → I 2 ( s ) + 2 e − Reduction : P b O 2 ( s ) + 4 H + ( a q ) + 2 e − → P b + 2 ( a q ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) Step 5: Make the number of electrons in both half-reactions equal by multiplying one or both half-reactions by a small whole number. O x i d a t i o n : [ 2 I − ( a q ) → I 2 ( s ) + 2 e − ] × 1 Reduction : [ P b O 2 ( s ) + 4 H + ( a q ) + 2 e − → P b + 2 ( a q ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) ] × 1 Add these two reactions to get the balanced reaction. P b O 2 ( s ) + 4 H + ( a q ) + 2 I − ( a q ) → P b + 2 ( a q ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) + I 2 ( s ) We have the following redox reaction: S O 3 2 − ( a q ) + M n O 4 − ( a q ) → S O 4 2 − ( a q ) + M n + 2 ( a q ) Step 1: Separate the overall reaction into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and one for reduction. O x i d a t i o n : S O 3 2 − ( a q ) → S O 4 2 − ( a q ) Reduction : M n O 4 − ( a q ) → M n + 2 ( a q ) Step 2: Balance the elements, excluding H, O. O x i d a t i o n : S O 3 2 − ( a q ) → S O 4 2 − ( a q ) Reduction : M n O 4 − ( a q ) → M n + 2 ( a q ) Step 3: Balance the elements H, O. O x i d a t i o n : S O 3 2 − ( a q ) + H 2 O ( l ) → S O 4 2 − ( a q ) + 2 H + ( a q ) Reduction : M n O 4 − ( a q ) + 8 H + ( a q ) → M n + 2 ( a q ) + 4 H 2 O ( l ) In these half-reactions, all elements are balanced, including H, O. Hence, in the next step we need to balance the charge. Step 4: Balance each half-reaction with respect to charge by adding electrons. O x i d a t i o n : S O 3 2 − ( a q ) + H 2 O ( l ) → S O 4 2 − ( a q ) + 2 H + ( a q ) + 2 e − Reduction : M n O 4 − ( a q ) + 8 H + ( a q ) + 5 e − → M n + 2 ( a q ) + 4 H 2 O ( l ) Step 5: Make the number of electrons in both half-reactions equal by multiplying one or both half-reactions by a small whole number
