Balance redox reactions

Rasmus. C. O. Petersen
Posted 9 years ago

Hi.

I wonder if I can balance redox reactions, without adding H+, OH- and H2O to the equation. Can I tell the computer, that it is an acidic or an alkaline solution?

Example:

Balance chemical equation H2O + MnO4^- + SnO2^-2 = MnO2 + SnO3^-2 + OH^-

Thanks!

I'd like to see some details of how you use the Grassmann algebra package to handle such reactions.

P.S. The link to your Mathematica page (http://my.xfinity.com/~djmpark/Mathematica.html) currently is dead!

Presumably you entered exactly that into Wolfram|Alpha. Here is a link to the result I obtained. I guess this was not quite what you wanted, so it would be helpful if you explained in more detail what it is you were hoping to get as result.
