Unit 2 ChemistryBalancing Complex Reduction and Oxidation Half Reactions Using KOHES
You can use the KOHES method to balance more complicated oxidation and reduction half equations involving compounds containing O and/or H, in acidic solutions.
The acronym KOHES stands for:Step 1 Key element (eg. Mn, V, Cl) (key element is NOT O or H)Step 2 Oxygen, balance by adding H2O Step 3 Hydrogen, balance by adding H+ ionsStep 4 Electrons, balance by adding e- to the more positive sideStep 5 States, add states (remember e- do NOT have states!)
Example
Permanganate ions MnO4- reduced to Mn2+ ions
Step 1 K MnO4- Mn2+ (Manganese Mn is the Key Element)
Step 2 O MnO4- Mn2+ + 4H2O (add 4H2O to RHS)
Step 3 H MnO4- + 8H+ Mn2+ + 4H2O (add 8 H+ to LHS)
Step 4 E MnO4- + 8H+ + 5e- Mn2+ + 4H2O (add 5e- to LHS)
Step 5 S MnO4-(aq) + 8H+
(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

Challenge – balancing complex redox equations:
For each of the following, identify:
a) Each conjugate pair (half equation)b) The reductant, the oxidant and what has been oxidised and reduced. c) Then balance the equation using KOHES
1. Cl2(g) + S2O32-(aq) ® Cl-(aq) + SO42-(aq)
2. NO2– + MnO4
– ® NO3– + Mn2+
3. HNO3(aq) + H3AsO3(aq) ® NO(g) + H3AsO4(aq) + H2O(l)
4. Cr2O72−(aq) + HNO2(aq) ® Cr3+(aq) + NO3
