Half-reactions represents either the oxidation or reduction part of a redox reaction, allowing us to track the electron transfer more effectively. By breaking down the overall redox reaction into half-reactions, we can observe the individual electron transfers and understand how the oxidation and reduction processes occur independently. 

For the reaction:

The oxidation half reaction is:

The reduction half reaction is:

How do I know which is the oxidized and/or reduced?
