Balance the following redox reaction which takes place in basic solution. Write your balanced equation on the line and then answer the following questions
Method Method Redox reactions are generally balanced using two processes. The first method is based on the redox reaction’s division into two reactions where one is involved in oxidation and the other in reduction (half reaction method) and the second one is based on the reducing and oxidizing molecule’s oxidation number variation (oxidation number method).
