Worksheet 49 : Balancing redox equations . Topic 11

Set A: Balancing ionic redox equations: Objective: To test your ability to show conservation
in redox equations using coefficients

Balance the following ionic redox equations using the “smallest whole-number coefficients.”
REMEMBER: A Balanced equation must show conservation of atoms and charges.
That means, the sum of atoms and charges on both sides of the equation must be equal.
