Answer #1

C7H8 --> CO2

Fe(OH)3 --> Fe+2

split

C7H8 --> CO2

Fe(OH)3 --> Fe+2

balance all atoms other than O and H

C7H8 --> 7CO2

Fe(OH)3 --> Fe+2

balance O addin H2O

14H2O + C7H8 --> 7CO2

Fe(OH)3 --> Fe+2 + 3H2O

balance H

14H2O + C7H8 --> 7CO2 + 28H+

3H+ + Fe(OH)3 --> Fe+2 + 3H2O

balance charges

14H2O + C7H8 --> 7CO2 + 28H+ + 28e-

3e- + 3H+ + Fe(OH)3 --> Fe+2 + 3H2O

balanc e-

3*14H2O + 3C7H8 --> 3*7CO2 + 3*28H+ + *328e-

28*3e- + 28*3H+ + 28Fe(OH)3 --> 28Fe+2 + 28*3H2O

42H2O + 3C7H8 --> 21CO2 + 84H+ + 84e-

84e- + 84H+ + 28Fe(OH)3 --> 28Fe+2 + 84H2O

add

42H2O + 3C7H8 + 84e- + 84H+ + 28Fe(OH)3 --> 28Fe+2 + 84H2O + 21CO2 + 84H+ + 84e-

cancel common terms

3C7H8 + 28Fe(OH)3 --> 28Fe+2 + 42H2O + 21CO2
