Is an acid-base reaction a redox reaction?
Is an acid-base reaction a redox reaction? And is redox reaction the general term for acid-base reaction?
Hehe, I have a question about the salt bridge in the galvanic cell/Daniel element/battery etc. e.g. in an iodine-magnesium battery Magnesium is oxidized, releases E which flows through the cable and consumer to the iodine where it is reduced On both sides there are now ions A filter paper soaked in potassium nitrate was used…
Carbon monoxide (CO), how can this compound exist? We learned somewhere in school that carbon is tetravalent and oxygen is divalent. Therefore, the compound "CO" shouldn't even exist, because two bonding arms of the carbon remain free, and thus only the compound "CO2" (carbon dioxide) should exist.
Acetic acid actually has a short alkyl residue > it says on the internet that a short alkyl residue means that an acid is strong… so why is acetic acid still a weak acid? what am I misunderstanding?
Hello, How do I write this down?
Hello, I'm supposed to write a text in German about a hero of our choice. I'd like to write something about Walter White. What do you think is absolutely essential for this text? I think his business acumen and communication skills are great to describe.
How can I remove fingerprints from old metal without damaging it and without them being visible? The metal is relatively old and still earthy. Can you scrub with soap? Or disinfectant? Alcohol?
Actually or usually or in school, the 2 are completely different things.
As a rule, it is because hydrogen is generally the more electropositive partner. If a proton is transmitted, it changes from an electron pair that does not belong to it to another one that does not belong to it.
However, if hydrogenf is the more negative partner, this looks different. So sodium hydride reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen:
NaH + H2O -> NaOH + H2.
This is both an acid-base reaction, because the hydride ion H- is a strong base and removes a proton from the water, i.e. also a redox reaction, because an H atom has the oxidation number -1, the other +1, and both thereafter 0.
Above all, this is more of the upper level or perhaps even of the university.
no, an acid-base reaction is not a redox reaction, since no electron transfer takes place in an acid-base reaction; however, redox reactions are an upper term for acid-base reactions
You contradict yourself.
