Reduction Oxidation

Note: I have not used the oxidation number method of balancing in any equation save one. The one exception is in the Three Equations file and it is problem #20. All other examples use the half-reaction method.

"I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then
finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." --- Sir Issac Newton
