    I was out with my bio class on a field trip so I missed this in school, and the trip made me sick therefor i lost even more days of school. But thanks to you i know i can catch up again, this is my first time on your channel hope you have more vids like this one! thanx

    oh wow the method my teacher taught us is much much simpler, basically just shortcuts through most of the legwork, i'll try and write it out if you're looking for something more brief
    1. write out oxidation states, as you do, as well as adding 1/2 in front of things like Cl2 etc
    2. count how much each thing got reduced or oxidized; switch the numbers, and multiply them into the equation
    3. count the total charge on each side, by counting, and add H+ or OH- to balance it
    4. count the oxygens, and add water where appropriate, and then count the H's to check

  • @maervincegonzales180

    Sir, how did the chemical equation Cr2O7 ^ -2 ---> Cr^3 become the reduction reaction? It also lost electrons, right?

    • @motivationalvibes1997
      @motivationalvibes1997 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It didn't lose electrons there is gain of electron,analyse carefully! (+12------>+3 i.e 9 electrons are gained)

    Don't we have in the end on the left side 2*7 O=14O --> on the left side we have only 7*O=7O so don't we have to multiply the H2O and H+ with 2 that we get it completly balanced?

    Because Cl2 is covalently bonded, there is no exchange of electrons and the charge of each Cl is zero.

    In the last step why do you have to balance the electrons?

    • @thewhitedudewithblackeyes4034
      @thewhitedudewithblackeyes4034 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      In my 8th grade class, basically the reason why electrons are needed to be balanced because if there is at least one electron remaining in the reaction, it will unbalance everything. As long as if there are no signs of electrons in your balanced reaction, it is balanced. Electrons counts like a negative charge so if you add it to any sides depending on its side, your reaction isn't balanced.

    • @kimpossible1855
      @kimpossible1855 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Due to law of conservation of mass. Although the mass of an electron is considered negligible , you cant do that with conservation of mass law cuz even such a small mass defect gives out considerable energy. So ya . U habe to balnce charge.

    If cl (-1) goes to cl (0) isn't that a reduction and not an oxidation?????

    • @sankhya01
      @sankhya01 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      remember this memory tip....... OIL RIG......
      oxidation is loss of electron....
      reduction is gain of electron ....
      so as cl- goes from -1to 0 .i.e if cl- looses 1e then it goes to 0 state thus oil i.e. oxidation

      The compound's charge is -2 so you need to assign Chromine's oxidation number that if you add it to -14, it becomes -2.
