Question

Gain of h+ ion is reduction or oxidation

Jaya Bansal · Accepted Answer

Dear
student,

Oxidation and reduction cannot
determine with the concept of gain or loss of H+ ion It
can be determined either by gain or loss of electrons or by gain
and lose of H or O

According to
definition;
Oxidation - Gain of O or loss
of H or loss of e- that increase the oxidation number is called as
oxidation
Reduction – lose of O or
gain of H or gain of e- that decrease the oxidation number is
called as reduction
Hence oxidation or reduction cannot determine with the gain or loss
of hydroge ion
