Balancing Redox Reactions in Acid & Basic Solutions

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around balancing a redox reaction involving V205 and U under both acidic and basic conditions. Participants are addressing the requirements for proper forum etiquette and the necessary components for posting homework questions.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a redox reaction that needs balancing under different conditions.
  • Another participant expresses frustration over a lack of responses.
  • A third participant points out that the original poster has not followed the forum's template and rules.
  • The original poster acknowledges their inexperience with the forum.
  • A later reply emphasizes the need for the original poster to include specific sections that were omitted in their initial post.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus on the balancing of the reaction, as the focus is primarily on the format and etiquette of the post rather than the chemical problem itself.

Contextual Notes

Participants note missing elements in the original post, such as the "Homework Equations" and "The Attempt at a Solution" sections, which are typically expected in homework-related threads.

This is simple: you have ignored template, you have ignored forum rules, you have been ignored.
 
I'm sorry i am fairly new to this site.
 
Fill in the blanks that you ignored in your first post, especially the last item:

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution
