Can Fire Burn When There’s No Oxygen?
Yes, fire can burn without oxygen. While oxygen is an important oxidizing agent for combustion, it is not the only one. There are alternative oxidizers such as chlorine, fluorine, and bromine that can also support burning. Furthermore,...

Balancing Redox Reactions in Acidic and Basic Conditions
We know that redox reactions are ones that involve electron transfer. Something is oxidized, and something else is reduced. But these reactions can be tricky to balance when surrounding water molecules are involved in the reaction. Let's...

Practice Problem: Balancing Redox Reactions
We know about redox reactions, and we even learned how to balance them under both acidic and basic conditions. Time for a quiz! Balance this redox reaction.
Professor Dave Explains
Practice Problem: Oxidizing Agents
For this one we need to know the ability of different oxidizing agents to react with various functional groups, and what functional groups will result.
