Balancing Equations by the Method of Oxidation-Reduction Answer Sheet (Bob Salsa)
Answers for worksheet.

Balancing Oxidation Reduction Reactions (R. H. Logan)

Chemical Reaction (Internet Science Room)
Not all reactions are redox reactions! Check out this page to learn the four types of reactions and then their possible sub-types. Learn how to tell if a reaction is a redox reaction, and get practice deciding what type of reaction is taking place by trying several sample questions. Also practice changing word equations into chemical equations.

Chemical Reactions (Virtual Chem Class)
Colorful, easy to understand slides of balancing chemical equations, types of reactions (single and double replacement, decomposition), oxidation and reduction, oxidizing and reducing agents, stoichiometry, and limiting reactants. Includes sample problems and equations.

Fundamentals of Electrochemistry (Colorado State)
Easy to understand lecture notes from college chemistry, chapter 14: Fundamentals of electrochemistry. Definitions, detailed steps to balance redox reations, charge, current, electrochemical cell, standard electrode potential, and Nerst Equation.

How Do You Go About Balancing an Oxidation-Reduction Equation? (R. H. Logan)
A sample redox equation is balanced with a step by step method. There is also a sample questions with solution to try.

Oxidation Numbers & Redox Reactions (Gwen Sibert)
Defintions, rules, problems, balancing redox reactions with detailed explanations.

Oxidation/Reduction (Kapiolani Community College)
A large web site on oxidation and reduction. Includes basic and extended concepts and 9 exercises. Also everyday applications including bleaching agents, photosynthesis, metabolism, corrosion and Photogray Glasses.

Oxidation-Reduction- (Internet Science Room)
Definitions, rules, LEO The Lion Goes GER (Lose electrons, Oxidize - - - - -Gain Electrons, Reduce), sample problems and solutions and balancing redox equations by the half- reaction method.

Oxidation-Reduction and Balancing Redox Equations (Gwen Sibert)
This great slide show takes you step by step through redox equations. It helps you assign oxidation numbers, teaches you oxidation, reduction, oxidizing and reducing agents, writing half-reactions, and balancing the final redox equation.

Redox Reactions (Georgia State University)
A great web diagram that organizes redox reactions for those who like to learn using diagrams.

Reduction and Oxidation Reactions (Chem Tutor)
Describes redox reactions, oxidation states, half reactions, reduction and oxidation, practice with assigning oxidation numbers and balancing redox equations.
