Practice Problem: Balancing Redox Reactions

This tutorial guides students through the process of balancing redox reactions under acidic conditions. It begins with an introduction to redox reactions and proceeds to split the reaction into oxidation and reduction half reactions. The tutorial then covers balancing oxygen with water molecules and hydrogen with protons. Next, it explains how to balance charges using electrons. Finally, the tutorial demonstrates how to combine the half reactions to form a balanced equation.
