SKILL #3: Writing Half-Reactions o Half reactions allow us to show the of in a redox rxn. For each redox reaction, we can illustrate two REACTIONS. One half-reaction shows and other shows REDUCTION. Example of a Reduction Half Reaction: Fe 3+ + 3e- àfe Electrons on left hand side, GAINED in the rxn (GER). Notice also how the charge for Fe goes down from left to right, REDUCTION (GER). Charge goes down because Fe GAINED e -. Example of an Oxidation Half Reaction: Fe àfe 3+ + 3e- Electrons on left hand side, LOST in the rxn (LEO). Notice also how the charge for Fe goes up from left to right, OXIDATION (LEO). Charge goes up because Fe LOST e -. o Always ADD ELECTRONS to the side of rxn that has a HIGHER TOTAL CHARGE (Remember: electrons are ) FOLLOWING THE LAW OF CONSERVATION: o Half reactions follow the LAW OF of. This means that there must be the SAME NUMBER OF ATOMS on both sides of the reaction arrow. o There must also be a CONSERVATION OF. In half reactions, the NET CHARGE MUST BE THE ON BOTH SIDES of the equation, although it doesn t necessarily need to equal zero. Example 1: Mg + ZnCl 2 à MgCl 2 + Zn o OXIDATION Half Reaction: o REDUCTION Half Reaction: Example 2: (balance masses): Hg + I 2 à HgI o OXIDATION Half Reaction: o REDUCTION Half Reaction:
