CHEM 105 1nd Edition Lecture 11 Outline of Last Lecture • Cont. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions: Electron Transfer • Cosidering Electron Transfer in Redox Reactions • Balancing Redox Reactions Using Half-Reactions Outline of Current Lecture • Cont. Balancing Redox Reactions • Balance acid Current Lecture-Balance the reaction of aluminum metal and the permanganate ion in basic solution. The products are manganese(IV) oxide and aluminum hydroxide.A: In basic solution, H2o and OH- are used to balance H amd O in the half-reaction.
