Redox Rxns in Acidic and Basic Solutions

[Shirley Liu 2I]

How do you know when a redox reaction takes place in an acidic or basic solution (for balancing half rxn purposes)? Would the question have to specify?

[Vincent Li 4L]

The problem would either have to specify, or there would be an obvious product being formed (H3O+ for acidic, OH- for basic).

The problem normally tells you if it is happening in an acidic or basic solution

[Alma Flores 1D]

The problem will usually specify if it is in an acidic or basic solution. From there you can decide whether to use H20 or OH-.

[Rosha Mamita 2H]

The problem would specify if the reaction was happening in an acidic or basic environment

[Rosha Mamita 2H]

The problem would specify if the reaction was happening in an acidic or basic environment

[Hannah Pham 1D]

The problem would have to tell us.
