P4. OXIDATION & REDUCTION: REDOX PROCESSES
P4.3 Oxidation number & redox reactions
P4.34 Using oxidation number to construct redox equations
While the above process may look quite involved, for those competent in dealing with simple ionic equations and also in calculating oxidation numbers, it does not take too many examples before one is operating with the required degree of fluency.
Where the four redox forms in a reaction appear unfamiliar, the approach to equation construction using oxidation numbers might well be preferable to the alternative using so-called half-equations.
