Half-Reaction Method
The half-reaction method for balancing redox equations consists of seven steps: 1. Write the formula equation if it is not given in the problem. Then write the ionic equation.
2. Assign oxidation numbers. Delete substances containing only elements that do not change oxidation state.

Disproportionation
A process in which a substance acts as both an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent is called disproportionation. A substance that undergoes disproportionation is both self-oxidizing and self-reducing. example: Hydrogen peroxide is both oxidized and reduced
2H2O2 2H2O O2

9. Determine the oxidation numbers for Cu in the superconductor YBa2Cu3O7.Yttrium (Y) has an oxidation number of +3. (Cu does not have oxidation numbers greater than +3.) Give only integer oxidation numbers.
Answer: The oxidation numbers for Y, Ba, and O are +3, +2, and 2, respectively. Therefore, the sum of the oxidation numbers for the three Cu atoms must be +7. Two Cu atoms must have +2 oxidation states, and one Cu atom must have a +3 oxidation state.

12. Balance the equation for the following reaction in basic solution: ClO2 KClO3 + KClO2 Give the balanced equation for each half-reaction and for the overall reaction. Give the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent. Answer: Oxidation half-reaction: 2OH + ClO2 ClO3 + e + H2O Reduction half-reaction: ClO2 + e ClO 2 Overall reaction: 2ClO2 + 2KOH KClO3 + KClO2 + H2O This reaction is a disproportionation reaction; therefore, ClO2 is both the reducing agent and the oxidizing agent.
