Abstract
Some graphical means permit us to predict redox reactions according to the experimental conditions. They principally allow the prediction of these reactions according to the concentrations of the different species that participate in the studied equilibrium. Quite generally, such predictions are less accurate than those based on the calculations described in the previous chapter. However, they are very useful because they immediately provide an overview of the evolution of the processes and, in particular, of the redox phenomena as a function of some experimental parameters, specifically of the pH.
