Which method is best? The method of half reactions or the method of oxidation numbers?
For example, how would you develop this response:
Mg + HCl –> Mg2+ + H2

Hi Tim,
I have worked out two responses (see attachment).
The method used is very easy and can always be applied, but you know nothing about the oxidation numbers of the elements and I think it is important that you can also determine them.
Hopefully I was able to help you.
