NEETChemistryRedox Reactions
In the oxidation number method, what is done to ensure that the total ionic charges of reactants and products are equal in a redox reaction?
Options
- AAdjusting the temperature
- BBalancing the number of carbon atoms
- CAdding H+ or OH- ions
- DChanging the formula of the products
Correct answer
C. Adding H+ or OH- ions
Step-by-step solution
To ensure that the total ionic charges of reactants and products are equal, you add H+ or OH- ions in the oxidation number method.
