Oxidation and Reduction Reactions “This material has been developed as a part of the Australian School Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Project funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Science and Training as a part of the Boosting Innovation in Science, Technology and Mathematics Teaching (BISTMT) Programme.”
Refraction and Optical Fibres • When light travels from one medium to another it changes speed. • It also changes direction.
Chemical reaction types Redox reactions can be : * Single replacement reaction * Combination reactions * Decomposition * Combustion reactions Acid-base reactions & double replacement reactions
Redox Reactions Involve a transfer of electrons between reacting species. … Takes place when reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously RED+ OX = REDOX

LESSON 2 OXIDATION AND REDUCTION
REDOX = OXidation + REDuction What is oxidation ? What is reduction?
What is oxidation? OXIDATIONISDEFINED AS : 1: LOSS OF HYDROGEN CH3 OH Cr2O72- → CH2O (methanol) H+ (heat) (methanal)
What is oxidation? OXIDATIONISDEFINED AS : 2: GAIN OF OXYGEN Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO 2Ca (s) + O2(g) → 2CaO
What is oxidation? 3:LOSS OF ELECTRONS =OXIDATION (LEO) OXIDATIONISDEFINED AS :
What is oxidation? 4: INCREASE IN OXIDATION NUMBER Fe (s) → Fe 2+ (aq) + 2e- 0 +2 OXIDATIONISDEFINED AS :
What is reduction? 1: GAIN OF HYDROGEN C3H6 (g) + H2(g) (catalyst) Ni → C3H8(g) (propene) heat pressure (propane) REDUCTIONISDEFINED AS :
What is reduction? REDUCTIONISDEFINED AS : 2: LOSS OF OXYGEN CuO (s) + H2(g) → Cu (s) + H2O (g)
What is reduction? REDUCTIONISDEFINED AS : O2(g) + 4e- → 2O2- (aq) 3:GAIN OF ELECTRONS =REDUCTION (GER)
What is reduction? REDUCTIONISDEFINED AS : 4: DECREASE IN OXIDATION NUMBER Cl2 (g) + 2e- → 2Cl-(aq) -1 0
When is it a redox reaction ? What about this reduction reaction? 2MnO4-(aq)+ 16H+ +10e- → Mn2+(aq)+ 8H2O(l) and this one? Cr2O72-(aq) +14H++6e- → 2Cr3+(aq)+ 7H2O(l)
