tbz709 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Just a simple question. When Balancing redox reactions and there are charges on both sides, do they add directly?I have.. Mno4- + Cl- -> Mn2+ + Cl2Balanced Mn to have 9e- when adding charges directly on both sides of the equation but I don't think that it makes sense. I have an example in my notes where two -'s on either side of an equation balances to create a 2e-. Thank you ?tbz709 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbz709 Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 I figured out today what I was doing.. I was trying to make it equal zero all together and not balance each side to be the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruvimbogee Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 why don't u start by balancing then electrons first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
