Yes, you have to split the given reaction (presuming it has been provided) into the oxidation and reduction half-reactions. You can determine which element is oxidized/reduced by assigning oxidaton numbers to the products and reactions and observing which undergo an increase in negativity, and which become more positive. Once you split the half-reactions and balance them by mass and by charge, you will have the proper moles of electrons, or n.
