Question

Can we get two different answers for balancing reactions by ion electron method?

Solution

No, we cannot get two different answers for the same reaction.
In the ion-electron method (also called the half-reaction method), the redox equation is separated into two half-equations - one for oxidation and one for reduction. Each of these half-reactions is balanced separately and then combined to give the balanced redox equation.
