Chemistry-Balancing Redox Reactions
NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 11
Assertion (A): In a basic solution, redox reactions are balanced by adding OH– ions to the equation. | Reason (R): Adding OH– ions helps to equalize the number of hydrogen atoms on both sides of the redox equation.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
