Redox Reactions (normally occur in an ACIDIC/BASIC solution)

- Write oxidation and reduction half-reactions

- Balance each half reaction:
1. Everything but H2O and O2
2. Balance oxygen using H2O
3. Balance hydrogen using H+
4. Balance the charge using electrons
- Multiply by an integer to one or both of the reactions to cancel out e-
- Add half reactions
- Do stoichiometry
Acid-Base Reactions
- Double displacement
- Find the net ionic equation
- Change the quantities of reactants to moles (M = (moles)/(volume))
- Determine limiting reactant
- Do stoichiometry
Precipitate Reactions
- Double displacement
- Make sure subscripts are equal
- Balance the equation
- Find the precipitate
- Determine the moles of reactants and which reactant is limiting
- Do stoichiometry
