# Help in balancing redox reactions (numerical chemistry)

Please check out my profile. There, you will find a question titled Balancing Redox Reactions which has been posted by me. It's the only question which I have posted in Chemistry till date, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. I only knew the final answer to the question, not the method/way to solve it. it's been a long time, yet still no one has posted a solution to that, and it has been solved only by 1 person. Pls tell me how to go about balancing that reaction. I have tried it by using the general methods such as ON No. method, Ion-electron method etc. However, they seem to be giving me incorrect equations. The answer given by me is perfectly correct. I am sure of it. Any and all help is appreciated.

Thank You!

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.

You mean using the relations between the coefficients to form algebraic equations, right??
