Redox Reaction Subtopic Half Reaction Method 01 Ques4
Question: What is the final step in the half-reaction method for balancing redox reactions?
Options:
A) Adding $H_2O$ molecules
B) Balancing the charge with electrons
C) Combining the two half-reactions
D) Canceling out common terms
Show Answer
Answer: c
Explanation:
A) Adding $H_2O$ is an earlier step in the process.
B) Balancing charge with electrons is done before combining half-reactions.
C) Correct. The final step is combining the two balanced half-reactions.
D) Canceling common terms is part of combining the half-reactions, but not the final step.
