Neutral medium
In electrochemistry, what is the procedure used on a Neutral medium?
Electrochemistry
The same procedure as used on acid medium is applied, for example on balancing using electron ion method to complete combustion of propane. "Unbalanced reaction": C3H8 + O2 → CO2 + H2O "Reduction": 4 H+ + O2 + 4 e– → 2 H2O "Oxidation": 6 H2O + C3H8 → 3 CO2 + 20 e– + 20 H+ As in acid and basic medium, electrons which were used to compensate oxidation changes are multiplied to opposite half reactions, thus solving the equation. 20 H+ + 5 O2 + 20 e– → 10 H2O 6 H2O + C3H8 → 3 CO2 + 20 e– + 20 H+ Equation balanced: C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
