In a similar way to oxidation-reduction reactions, half-reactions can be written for electrochemical reactions. True False

OpenStudy (kainui):

So what's a half reaction? It's just the reaction with electrons moving around. What's a redox reaction? Transfer of electrons. Pretty much, a half reaction is half of a redox reaction lol.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

yup u can write half reaction :)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

#true

OpenStudy (kainui):

What if I told you that the electrons never actually left in a redox reaction, they were only less likely to be at the old location? Redox is a lie, chemistry teachers are lying to us!

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

LOL what do u mean by not entirely TRUE

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Didn't you say you were working on your PhD? Surely you would know what I mean after the many chemistry courses as an undergraduate and graduate student.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

PhD ? yaa that's true but how u relate to this question ? chemistry is making some one to say"oh it makes sense now" it will b e true, until another person says it has some drawbacks :)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Go home, you're drunk.

OpenStudy (chmvijay):

LOL i am not you have drunk :)
