    Balance Chemical Reactions

    Thanks for your response on the oxidation reduction it was helpful, but how do you balance equations without oxygen? such as Cu2+Fe------->Cu+Fe2 I started out with Cu2-->Cu Cu2+---2Cu and on the oxidation side Fe-->Fe2+ Fe-->Fe2+2e and what about this one? Sn2+2Fe)3+----Sn)4+ 2Fe)2+

    Amount of energy required to purify copper using electrolysis?

    The purification of copper by electrolysis involves an anode of impure copper and a cathode of pure copper. During the electrolysis, copper (II) ions leave the anode slab and plate onto the cathode slab. The reaction at the anode is Cu(s) = Cu2+(aq) +2e- The reaction at the cathode is Cu2+(aq) + 2e- = Cu(s) Therefore,
