To figure mols/L L x moles reactant/L
Oxidation Agent Species involved in the reduction reaction
Reduction Agent Species involved in the oxidation reaction
Anions Negative charge; Larger than neutral element because electron cloud is screened by electrons and pull toward nucleus is less
Cations positive charge; Smaller than neutral element because more electrons in electron cloud causes nuclear pull to be stronger

Steps to balance Reduction Oxidation equations in acid 1.write 2 ½ equations; 2. balance all not O or H; 3. add H20 to balance O; 4. add H+ to balance H in H2O; 5. add electrons to balance charges; 6. balance e- on both sides by multiplying whole ½ equation as needed; 7. Cancel out and re-write.
Steps to balance Reduction Oxidation equations in base follow steps for acid and then 1. add OH- to both sides to cancel all H+; 2. combine H+ and OH- to form H2O; 3. add H2O; 4. check atoms and charge for balance.
