Some Basics of Chemistry Useful in Redox Processes: Basics Concepts with Resolved Questions and Problems (Section 1)

As a teacher of physical chemistry, I noticed that students, even in advanced classes, have difficulties in understanding the basics of redox chemistry. In this Section 1, I attempted to summarize some fundamental principles of chemistry often found later in redox processes. Students have often difficulties in linking CHEMISTRY to REDOX CHEMISTRY (or ELECTROCHEMISTRY), thinking that both are separate from each other. Chemistry concepts, such as solvents, electrolytes, ionic conductivity, acidity, alkalinity (basicity), pH, as well as some thermodynamics and kinetics basics are all concepts that could be found in redox chemistry. To further clarify the discussed concepts, numerous questions and

作为一名物理化学教师，笔者注意到，即便修读高阶课程的学生，也难以理解氧化还原化学的基础内容。在本第1节中，笔者尝试梳理总结那些常出现于氧化还原反应过程中的化学基础原理。学生往往难以将普通化学与氧化还原化学（或电化学）建立关联，误以为二者彼此独立。诸如溶剂、电解质、离子电导率、酸度、碱度（碱性）、pH值，以及部分热力学与动力学基础等化学概念，均会在氧化还原化学中出现。为进一步阐明上述讨论的概念，大量习题与
