What is the Redox Reaction Calculator?

The Redox Reaction Calculator is designed for students and chemistry enthusiasts to combine and balance oxidation and reduction half-reactions into a complete redox equation. It helps understand electron transfer between species in a chemical reaction and ensures that the reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass and charge.

How to Use:

1. Enter Oxidation Half-Reaction: Provide the oxidation half-reaction in the standard format (e.g., Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻).
2. Enter Reduction Half-Reaction: Provide the reduction half-reaction in the standard format (e.g., Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu).
3. Click “Balance Redox Reaction”: The calculator will attempt to combine the two half-reactions into a single balanced redox reaction.
4. Review Result: The output shows the combined reaction, giving insight into electron transfer and the overall chemical process.
