After adding two half reactions in ion electron method:

Correct answer: D. Both A and B

  • A. Net charge should be same on each side
  • B. Total number of atoms should be same
  • C. Total number of ions should be same
  • D. Both A and B

Explanation

Ion-Electron Method (Half-Reaction Method): The ion-electron method, also known as the half-reaction method, is a technique used to balance redox reactions by breaking the reaction into two half-reactions-one for oxidation and one for reduction. Each half-reaction balances the atoms and charges separately before combining them to obtain the balanced overall reaction.

About Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry describes electron transfer through oxidation and reduction, identifies oxidizing and reducing agents, and applies oxidation numbers to balance redox equations. It also covers electrode potential and the standard hydrogen electrode, which provides the reference for comparing the reduction tendencies of other electrodes.
