nicknameParticipantI have to write the oxidation and reduction reactions for 3O2 + 4Fe—> 2Fe2O3
As the oxidation-half reaction I have 4Fe—>4Fe^3+ + 12 e-
As the reduction half reaction I have 3O2 + 12e- —> 6O^2-
are my answers correct? Thank you!

apparently, your oxidative half-reaction could be substracted with 4 and the reductive half-reaction with 3…
