Oxidation is the loss of electrons
Reduction is the gain of electrons
O Oxidation I Is L Loss of electrons R Reduction I Is G Gain of electrons

Example 1: Reaction between magnesium and chlorine:
Mg (s) + Cl2 (g) → MgCl2 (s)
Write the two half-equations and identify which species is oxidised and which is reduced
Mg → Mg2+ + 2e-
Cl2 + 2e- → 2Cl-
The number of electrons in the two half-equations must be the same
Oxidised
Reduced

Example 2: Balance the equation below:
2Al (s) + 3Cl2 (g) → 2AlCl3 (s)
Write the two half-equations and identify which species is oxidised and which is reduced
2Al → 2Al3+ + 6e-
3Cl2 + 6e- → 6Cl-
The number of electrons in the two half-equations must be the same
Oxidised
Reduced

Example 3: Combine the following half-equations
Al → Al3+ + 3e-
O2 + 4e- → 2O2-
4Al → 4Al3+ + 12e-
3O2 + 12e- → 6O2-
We can combine the equations by cancelling the electrons
4Al + 3O2 → 4Al3+ + 6O2-
Multiply by 4 to get 12e-
Multiply by 3 to get 12e-
OxidisedReduced
This is called a Redox equation

Writing half-equations involving transition metals:
Step 1: Write the two ions
Step 2: Using the oxidation states write the electrons
Step 3: Add water (H2O) to the right side to equal the oxygen atoms on the left
Step 4: Add hydrogen ions (H+) to the left side to equal the hydrogen atoms on the right

Example 4: Manganese(VII) ions (MnO4-) can be
reduced to Manganese(II) ions Mn2+ by iron(II) ions (Fe2+) which are oxidised to iron(III) ions (Fe3+)
Work out the two half-equations and then write an
overall equation for the reaction
Step 1: MnO4- → Mn2+
Step 2: MnO4- + 5e- → Mn2+
Step 3: MnO4- + 5e- → Mn2+ + 4H2O
Step 4: MnO4- + 5e- + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O
+7 + 5e- → +2

Example 4: Manganese(VII) ions (MnO4-) can be
reduced to Manganese(II) ions Mn2+ by iron(II) ions (Fe2+) which are oxidised to iron(III) ions (Fe3+)
Step 1: Fe2+ → Fe3+
Step 2: Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e-
Combining the two half-equations (overall equation):
MnO4- + 5e- + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O
Fe2+ → Fe3+ + e- Multiply by 5 to get 5e-
Number of electrons in the two half-equations must be the same

MnO4- + 5e- + 8H+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O
5Fe2+ → 5Fe3+ + 5e-
MnO4- + 8H+ + 5Fe2+ → Mn2+ + 4H2O + 5Fe3+
This is the overall equation
It is also called a redox equation

Example 5: Dichromate(VI) ions (Cr2O72-) can be reduced
to chromium(III) ions (Cr3+) by sulfite ions (SO32-) which
are oxidised to sulfate ions (SO42-)
Work out the two half-equations and then write an

Step 3: Cr2O72- + 6e- → 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
Step 4: Cr2O72- + 6e- + 14H+ → 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
+6 + 3e- → +3

Combining the two half-equations (overall equation):
Cr2O72- + 6e- + 14H+ → 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
SO32- + H2O → SO4
2- + 2e- + 2H+
Cr2O72- + 6e- + 14H+ → 2Cr3+ + 7H2O
3SO32- + 3H2O → 3SO4
