The following rules must be followed in balancing redox reaction by half equation method:
- Initially, redox reaction is separated into two half equations; oxidation and reduction.
- Atoms other than hydrogen and oxygen are balanced first in the unbalanced half equations.
- Oxygen atoms are balanced by addition of water on either side of the reaction.
- Hydrogen ion/s is added to balance the hydrogen atom.
- Electrons are added to balance the charge.
- Half reactions are added to get the net total equation.
- The further addition of hydroxide ion takes place on both side of the reaction, if the solution is basic in nature to neutralise the hydrogen ion present in the solution.
Answer to Problem 43QAP
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is as follows:
According to the rule, atom other than hydrogen and oxygen is balanced first. Here, chlorine is already balanced thus next step is to balance the hydrogen and oxygen atoms. To balance oxygen atoms, water molecule is added to right side of the reaction arrow as follows:
Now, to balance hydrogen atom, hydrogen ion is added to left side of the reaction.
Next step is to balance the charge, there is + 1 charge on left side and -1 on right side, to balance the charge 2 electrons must be added to left side of the reaction arrow thus,
The above reaction is the balanced half reaction.

Interpretation:
The given half reaction should be balanced
Concept Introduction:
The oxidation-reduction reaction is also known as a redox reaction. In this reaction, one reactant is oxidized and other is reduced. In balancing an oxidation-reduction reaction they must be first divided into two half reactions: one is oxidation reaction and other is reduction reaction.

Answer to Problem 43QAP
Explanation of Solution
The given reaction is as follows:
According to the rule, atom other than hydrogen and oxygen is balanced first. Here, nitrogen atom can be balanced by giving coefficient 2 to NO on left side of the reaction arrow.
Thus,
Now, to balance oxygen atom, add water molecule to right side of the reaction arrow as follows:
Now, to balance hydrogen atom, hydrogen ion is added to left side of the reaction.
Next step is to balance the charge, there is + 2 charge on left side, to balance the charge 2 electrons must be added to left side of the reaction arrow thus,
The above reaction is the balanced half reaction.
