Question
Write the oxidation and reduction half reactions from the following redox reaction.
$2 \mathrm{Fe}+2 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_2$

Answer

$\text{Fe}\xrightarrow{\ \ \ }\text{Fe}^{2+}+2\text{e}^-$ (Oxidation)
$\frac12\text{O}_2+\text{H}_2\text{O}+2\text{e}^-\xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ }\text{2OH}^-$ (Oxidation)
