NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the balancing of redox reactions is correct?
In balancing redox reactions, half-reactions must always be adjusted to have the same number of electrons transferred.
The oxidation half-reaction is always multiplied by the same factor as the reduction half-reaction.
Balancing redox reactions does not require considering the charge balance on both sides of the equation.
The final balanced equation must equalize the number of atoms but not necessarily the charge on both sides.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as it reflects the process of balancing charges and atoms in redox reactions, as demonstrated in the step-by-step method shown in the NCERT context. The other statements reflect misconceptions about balancing redox equations.
