Apr 18, 2016 · I don't understand how to identify a redox reaction. The answer key shows the correct answer as D, but I'm confused as to why. D shows an acid-base reaction. Are all acid …

The number of electrons shuffled in the reaction is not chosen arbitrarily, but is based on the initial and final oxidation numbers of the elements in the reaction, after the equations are balanced.

Feb 22, 2018 · In the above chemical reaction, I'm having trouble identifying what is oxidized and what is reduced. My guess is: sulfur has reduced but I can't work out what has oxidised.

Jun 12, 2017 · For a redox reaction to be spontaneous the reduction potential of the oxidizing agent needs to be higher than the reduction potentials of the reduction agent, therefore \eqref …

Apr 22, 2017 · Anything that involves change of oxidation states of reactants in the products or exchange of electrons can be considered a redox reaction. Here, $\ce {H2}$ (oxidation state = …

Apr 11, 2018 · Redox reaction is a type of chemical reaction, and is the result of electron transfer between chemical species. But, all chemical reactions somehow involve electron transfer! So, …

Incidentally, the second reaction is also an example of a redox reaction, since it involved a change in the oxidation states of the reactants (here, zinc is oxidized while copper is reduced). …

Nov 28, 2019 · Until now it was clear to me what balancing a reaction was. Balancing redox reaction also make sense to me. What does it mean to balance a redox reaction in acidic or …

Jul 23, 2014 · Suppose we have a redox reaction and we want to see in what direction the reaction is spontaneous. We do this by comparing the standard reduction potentials of the sub …

Sep 25, 2021 · In contrary to acid-base reactions (1), a redox reaction is such a reaction, which can be formally divided into two half-reactions. At least one reactant in such a half-reaction …
