To balance the oxidation-reduction equations, we have to assign the O. N. to each element and determine the oxidation and reduction. After we are done with that, we have to balance the elements in the equations with H2_2O and H+^+ for acidic solution. The last step is to balance the electrons and sum the O and R.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction and reduction is the gain of electrons during the reaction.
