I need help getting this equation balanced through redox
H2O + Al + NH4ClO4 + H+ ->Al2O3 + NO + HCl + H2O + H+
Help with redox

2 Al + 3 H2O=> Al2O3 + 6 H+ + 6 e- Oxidation
NH4+ + H2O => NO + 6 H+ + 5 e- Oxidation
ClO4- + 9 H+ + 8 e- => HCl + 4 H2O Reduction
Start with this
NH4+ + H2O => NO + 6 H+ + 5 e- Oxidation
ClO4- + 9 H+ + 8 e- => HCl + 4 H2O Reduction
Start with this
Code: Select all
2 NH4ClO4 + 2 Al => 2 HCl + Al2O3 + 2 NO + 3 H2O
