Abstract

A recent paper in this Journal [1995, 72, 1125] lists three redox equations which offer a challenge to the conventional techniques for balancing them. This paper offers a systematic procedure for handling such equations using nonconventional oxidation numbers and avoiding a lot of mathematics.

  Abstract:
  A chemical equation shows which reactants are converted into which products. Because of the law of conservation of matter, such an equation must be balanced. Stated in chemical terms, this means that the number of atomic particles of each occurring ...
