Acidic or basic?
How do you determine if a reaction is acidic or basic? Can you tell just by looking at the reaction given?

Re: Acidic or basic?
You can look to see if there are H+ or OH- in solution. If there are H+, it would be acidic. If there are OH-, it would be basic.
I think Lavelle would prompt the reaction similar to how the textbook does, by saying if it is acidic or basic. But, if not, you can look for H+ or OH-.

Most likely, it will be given so you don't need to worry about it. However, it can be determined by looking at the equation and whether it has H+ or OH- in it.
