    hi, when we're working out O.S do we ignore the coefficient at the front e.g. in 2MnO4^- the O.S of Mn is +7 so we dont include the 2 at the front right ? ty!

    • @chemistrytutor
      @chemistrytutor  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's correct 👌
      The coefficient doubles everything, so you'd just be working it all out twice.
      And the O.S is for a single element, so 2Cl^- has an OS of -1 (there are just two of them)

      @chemistrytutor  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Each of the H+ ions has a 1+ charge.
      The MnO4^1- has a 1- charge.
      The sum of those numbers is 7+ or +7

    When the reaction takes place in alkali conditions I understand that you are supposed to use OH- ions but I am unsure how you are supposed to balance the equation and all the practice questions I have done I have been incorrect. Could you possibly make a short video to cover this?

    Sorry this may sound really stupid but at 15:00 how would you know what side of the reaction to add the electrons to as for iodine i would have have put the two electrons on the right hand side was zero however that wouldnt work as it wouldnt make 0 so is there a way i can know what side to put the electrons pelase?

    • @chemistrytutor
      @chemistrytutor  ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question, there are four ways:
      1) you are adding something negative to one side in order to make both sides have the same charge... so add them to the side that is currently more positive (or less negative)
      2) if you know the oxidation State change e.g. +2 --> 0 then you can work out where electrons should go. So in this example 2e- must be added on the left as reduction is occurring.
      3. If you know the type of process reduction or oxidation that tells you the side to add them red-ox
      ... if its red the e go on the left, oxidation they're on the right.
      4. If you put them on one side for one half equation, the second one you're combining with it must have e on the other side!

    hi, i don't understand how the charge at 22:34 is +7 for 2MnO4^-1 and not 7.5?
    this was my working:
    (2Mn) + (8x-2) = -1 the 8 is for the 4oxygens x big 2
    (2Mn) + (-16) = -1
    2Mn = 15
    Mn = 15/2
    Mn = 7.5

    • @chemistrytutor
      @chemistrytutor  ปีที่แล้ว

      You just work it out for one single MnO4^1- you don't need to do it for two.
      Although, if you do, you get the same answer. You just went astray because you doubled all of the atoms but not the charge for the ion

    22:33 Sir I’m so confused on how Mn had a charge of +7 Do we work that out based on the fact that after writing the equation Mn had a charge of 2+ and since it’s after it gained 5 electrons then it must’ve originally had a charge of +7?

    • @chemistrytutor
      @chemistrytutor  หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's a tough one. But I think it's easier to know that oxygen is -2 and work it from there rather than thinking about the full equation. I go through it earlier as a worked example at 10:04 in the video 😃

      H2O + h(+) + 2e ----> H2 + OH(-) but its wrong. Where did i go wrong?

    • @chemistrytutor
      @chemistrytutor  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @bigg.grizzlybear2670 Tough question! This is a bit of a weird scenario that doesn't follow the standard rules. A lot of redox takes place in acidic solution, hence adding H+ ions to one side. On this occasion we make OH- ions (base/alkali), so the alkali won't be being made from the acid. We need to balance this by using 2H2O and therefore we need to make 2OH- ions.
      Then we add the electrons to balance the charge or to address the decreasing oxidation States (whichever way you prefer to think about it)

    • @chemistrytutor
      @chemistrytutor  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @IyunolaSasi this is showing that sometimes we need to simplify more than the electrons. We find the common multiple of electrons and remove them. Then we need to check for H+ and H2O (and anything really but these are the common ones) and see what repeats on both sides. A chemical equation should only show what changes so if we start with 10H+ and finish with 6H+ for instance, only 4 of those H+ have actually changed. To fix this we remove 6H+ from both sides
