Under alkaline condiitons: write the formulae for reactant and product, work out the change in oxidation state and add in electrons, add OH- ions to balance charge, add water molecules to balance hydrogen atoms. if that doesnt work then write the hald equation as if it was acidic, remove H+ ions by adding OH- ions to both sides which forms water molecules, simplify by crossing off species that appear on both sides
