Redox half reactions are representations of the transfer of electrons between reactants in a redox reaction. They show the species that gains electrons (reduction) and the species that loses electrons (oxidation) as separate chemical equations. Each half reaction highlights the electron loss or gain and allows us to balance the overall redox reaction.
The reduction half-reaction of a redox reaction
. The reaction will be spontaneous.
An oxidation half-reaction
The determining number of electrons transferred in a redox reaction can be calculated by balancing the oxidation and reduction half-reactions and comparing the number of electrons gained and lost in each half-reaction. The difference in the number of electrons transferred between the two half-reactions gives the overall number of electrons transferred in the redox reaction.
How many electrons are taken up by an oxidant in the 1st halfreaction (oxidant reaction),and how many electrons are given free by a reductant in the 2st halfreaction (reductant reaction)
They make it easier to see the oxidation and reduction parts of the reaction separately.
