Why aren't acid-base reactions considered redox reactions, even though they involve the transfer of hydrogen atoms?

Sagot :

Answer:   Acid/base and precipitation reactions almost always are NOT redox reactions. For redox to have happened, the number of electrons that an element has must change (i.e. its oxidation state must change). ... But the hydrogen ion never "has" any electron throughout the process and remains in a +1 oxidation state.

Explanation:

let me know if that helped...(☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞

Acid-base reaction is not a redox reaction, since the oxidation number remains unchanged in acid-base reaction.  

What is acid-base reaction?

An acid-base reaction is the chemical reaction that occur when acids and bases react together.

What is redox reaction?

Redox reaction is a reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between the atoms, ions, or molecules.

Acid-base reactions involve the transfer of hydrogen ions between reactants. Redox reactions involve a change in oxidation number for one or more reactant elements.

Redox reactions involve a change in oxidation number for one or more reactant elements.

Acid-base reactions involve a transfer of a hydrogen ion instead of an electron and the transfer of an H+ ion leaves the oxidation numbers unaffected.
