**Balancing Half-Reactions in Battery Chemistry**In this section, we will explore how to identify and balance the half-reactions that take place in a typical battery to produce electricity.**Chemical Reaction:**\[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} + 2\text{MnO}_2{(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{Mn}_2\text{O}_3{(s)} + \text{ZnO}_{(s)} \]### Steps to Balance the Half-Reactions:1. **Identify the Reduction and Oxidation Half-Reactions:** - **Oxidation Half-Reaction**: \[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} \rightarrow \text{ZnO}{(s)} \] - **Reduction Half-Reaction**: \[ 2\text{MnO}_2{(s)} \rightarrow \text{Mn}_2\text{O}_3{(s)} \]2. **Balance the Atoms:** - Ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equations.3. **Balance the Electrons:** - Add electrons to one side of each half-reaction to account for the charges on either side of the equation.### Explanation of Diagrams/Grapheds:- **No Graphs or Diagrams Present:** This question does not include graphical data or diagrams.### Demonstration of Work:Use the Sketchpad tool to show the step-by-step process of balancing these half-reactions. **Note:** Below are the elements you will find in the Sketchpad toolbar:- **Pencil** for drawing or writing.- **Shapes** for geometric representations.- **Connector** for linking points or objects.- **Eraser** to remove any mistakes.Ensure you thoroughly show each balancing step to reinforce learning concepts.### Practice:After completing the example, try balancing the following battery reaction on your own:\[ \text{Zn}_{(s)} + \text{CuO}_{(s)} \rightarrow \text{ZnO}_{(s)} + \text{Cu}_{(s)} \]This exercise will help solidify your understanding of balancing half-reactions in electrochemistry. Happy balancing!

Animation-Analysis of Copper-Zinc Voltaic Cell Zinc Some oxidation-reduction reactions are spontaneous, and the energy released by them can be used for electrical work. This principle is used in the working of a voltaic cell. Voltaic cells, or electrochemical cells, make use of the electrons that are transferred from the species that releases electrons and undergoes oxidation to the species that accepts electrons and undergoes reduction. If it is possible by any means to separate the oxidation reaction and the reduction reaction and then connect them externally so that the electrons flow from one compartment to the other, you can construct an electrochemical cell.
