Reversing the equation gives the oxidation half reaction. Doing this changes the sign on the voltage, not the magnitude.
Oxidation and reduction reactions
The oxidation half-reaction is: Fe => Fe+3 + 3e-, and the reduction half-reaction is: F2 + 2e- => 2 F-1. For a complete equation, the oxidation half-reaction as written must be multiplied by 2 and added to the reduction half-reaction as written multiplied by 3 to result in an overall reaction of 2 Fe + 3 F2 = 2 FeF3.
The process of electron gain is called reduction. For example, if Br gains an electron, its oxidation number is reduced from 0 to -1, and will be written as Br-. The opposite of this (electron loss) would be called oxidation, or ionization.
Balancing ChemicalsA chemical equation is balanced when each side has equal amount of each atom.To balance this we must multiply upon both sides. If we have two chemicals we need to add... keep a space in between. If they will be multiplied, keep them together.H2 +O2 -----> H2OTo balance this, we must multiply H2O by 2; so at to make this "O" equal to the 2 "O" s on the other side.But by doing this, the H2 of the same side will also have to be multiplied by 2.This will make 4 hydrogen atoms. Fortunately, the H2 of the other side can be multiplied by 2. O2 will not be effected.Important: If they are separated by a plus, they can be considered 2 different values.Al + O2 -----> Al2O3 is the schematic equation for aluminum reacting with oxygen to form aluminum oxide but it is NOT balanced. 4Al + 3O2 -----> 2Al2O3 is the balanced equation with all O an Al numbers balancing.
Heat is written as a product of the reaction (apecs answer)
Reversing the equation gives the oxidation half reaction. Doing this changes the sign on the voltage, not the magnitude.

A single-displacement reaction, also called single-replacement reaction, is a type of oxidation-reduction chemical reaction when an element or ion moves out of one compound and into another. (One element is replaced by another in a compound.) This is usually written asA + BX → AX + B
