It means there's an acid (H+) present in the reaction mixture.
Let me clarify further.
Reactions take place in various environments. Some conditions favor the reaction, some don't. Some conditions are required for the reaction to proceed. Acidic medium is one of those conditions.
Look at KMnO4 for example. It's a strong oxidizing agent in acidic medium and goes from Mn (VII) to Mn (II) In neutral medium, it goes from Mn (VII) to Mn (IV) and in basic (alkaline) medium, it goes from Mn (VII) to Mn (VI)
So the medium in which the reaction is taking place can have an effect on the outcome. Plz mark it as Brainliest Answer
