Redox Reaction Subtopic Half Reaction Method 01 Ques1
Question: In the half-reaction method for balancing redox reactions, which species are balanced first?
Options:
A) $H^+$ ions
B) $OH^-$ ions
C) Electrons
D) Atoms other than H and O
Show Answer
Answer: d
Explanation:
A) $H^+$ ions are balanced after atoms other than H and O.
B) $OH^-$ ions are not directly balanced in acidic solutions.
C) Electrons are balanced after atoms and $H^+$ ions.
D) Correct. In the half-reaction method, atoms other than H and O are balanced first.
