Describe redox reactions in acidic conditions:
• solution with a greater concentration of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
KOHES - acidic conditions
Key Elements Oxygen atoms (add water) Hydrogen atoms (add H⁺) Electrons States
Describe redox reactions in basic conditions
• solution with a greater concentration of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
KOHOHES - basic conditions
Key elements Oxygen atoms (add H₂O) Hydrogen atoms (add H⁺) OH - add OH⁻ ions to both sides of the equation for every H⁺ Electrons States
What is the formula for pH?
pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]
Describe pH changes in an acidic electrolyte:
• if H⁺ produced, pH decreases (more acidic) • if H⁺ consumed, pH increases (less acidic)
Describe the pH changes in a basic electrolyte:
• if OH⁻ produced, pH increases (more basic) • if OH⁻ consumed, pH decreases (more acidic)
