redox reactions doubt

VITEEE 2015 Discussion Forum › Physical Chemistry questions › redox reactions doubt

How do we find out whether a particular compound is better oxidising/reducing agent in alkaline or acidic medium?
for eg ,
SO₂ is more powerful reducing agent in an alkaline medium than in acidic medium.
how do we know this ?
is it something related to EÂ° value of this reactions?
plz explain
