Which of the following half-reactions (acidic medium) are correctly balanced in both atoms and charge?

  1. A
  2. B
  3. C
  4. D

Answer: A, D

Check charge on both sides. (a): left -1+8-5 = +2, right +2, correct. (b): O count is 7 on the left but 6 on the right, so it is wrong ( and are needed). (c): left -1+4-2 = +1, right 0, so 3 electrons are needed. (d): left -1+6-6 = -1, right -1, correct.
