Separate the reduction and oxidation reactions........

Explanation:

$Reduction half equation....$ $"Reduction half equation...."$

$C e^{4 +} + e^{-} \to C e^{3 +}$ $Ce^(4+) + e^(-) rarr Ce^(3+)$ $(i)$ $(i)$

$Oxidation half equation....$ $"Oxidation half equation...."$

$H_{2} O_{2} \to O_{2} + 2 H^{+} + 2 e^{-}$ $H_2O_2 rarr O_2 + 2H^(+)+ 2e^(-)$ $(i i)$ $(ii)$

And we add these equations together so that electrons do not appear in the final equation: $2 \times (i) + (i i)$ $2xx(i) + (ii)$ ............

$2 C e^{4 +} + H_{2} O_{2} \to 2 C e^{3 +} + O_{2} + 2 H^{+}$ $2Ce^(4+) + H_2O_2 rarr 2Ce^(3+)+O_2 + 2H^(+)$

Charge and mass are balanced as is required..............

For another $redox equation$ $"redox equation"$ see [here.](https://socratic.org/questions/how-do-you-balance-this-equation-kmno4-na2s2o3-h2so4-k2so4-mnso4-na2so4-h2o)
