NEET Chemistry Balancing Redox Reactions MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about balancing redox reactions is correct?
In acidic solutions, OH- ions are used to balance the reactions.
Balancing redox reactions can involve identifying oxidation states changes.
Water molecules are never added to balance hydrogen atoms.
Disproportionation reactions involve one species being oxidized and reduced simultaneously.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement B is correct as balancing redox reactions involves identifying changes in oxidation states. Statement A is incorrect because OH- is used in basic solutions, not acidic. Statement C is false since water can be added for balancing hydrogen, and statement D, while true, does not specifically address the methods of balancing redox reactions.
