  1. Oxidation-Reduction Dr. Ron Rusay Balancing Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

  2. Oxidation-Reduction • Oxidation is the loss of electrons. • Reduction is the gain of electrons. • The reactions occur together. One does not occur without the other. • The terms are used relative to the change in the oxidation state or oxidation number of the reactant(s).

  3. Aqueous Reactions:Oxidation - Reduction • In the following reaction, identify what is being oxidized and what is being reduced. What is the total number of electrons involved in the process?

  4. Oxidation Reduction Reactions

  5. QUESTION In a redox reaction, oxidation and reduction must both occur. Which statement provides an accurate premise of redox chemistry? The substance that is oxidized must be the oxidizing agent. The substance that is oxidized must gain electrons. The substance that is oxidized must have a higher oxidation number afterwards. The substance that is oxidized must combine with oxygen.

  6. ANSWER In a redox reaction, oxidation and reduction must both occur. Which statement provides an accurate premise of redox chemistry? The substance that is oxidized must be the oxidizing agent. The substance that is oxidized must gain electrons. The substance that is oxidized must have a higher oxidation number afterwards. The substance that is oxidized must combine with oxygen.

  7. QUESTION

  8. B) NO Oxygen almost always has an oxidation state of 2 when part of a compound. The exception is when it is part of a peroxide. For example, hydrogen peroxide H . Then it has an oxidation state of ANSWER 2 – O 2 2 – 1 .

  9. QUESTION What is the oxidation number of chromium in ammonium dichromate? A) +3 B) +4 C) +5 D) +6

  10. ANSWER What is the oxidation number of chromium in ammonium dichromate? A) +3 B) +4 C) +5 D) +6 (NH4)2Cr2O7

  11. Zinc

  12. Reactivity Tables (usually reducing) show relative reactivities: In the examples from the previous slide, the acid solution (H+) will react with anything below it in the Table but not above. Nickel and Zinc, ….but not Copper.

  13. QUESTION • Select all redox reactions by looking for a change in oxidation number as reactants are converted to products. • I) Ca + 2 H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2 • II) CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 • III) Ca(OH)2 + H3PO4→ Ca3(PO4)2 + H2O • IV) Cl2 + 2 KBr → Br2 + 2 KCl • A) I and II B) II and III C) I and IV D) III and IV

  14. ANSWER • Select all redox reactions by looking for a change in oxidation number as reactants are converted to products. • I) Ca + 2 H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2 • II) CaO + H2O → Ca(OH)2 • III) Ca(OH)2 + H3PO4→ Ca3(PO4)2 + H2O • IV) Cl2 + 2 KBr → Br2 + 2 KCl • A) I and II B) II and III C) I and IV D) III and IV

  15. QUESTION

  16. C) 2 If an element is a reactant, this usually a redox reaction, since an element usually becomes part of a compound during a chemical reaction. ANSWER Cu + 2AgNO3 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2 N2 + 3H2 2NH3

  17. Number of electrons gained must equal the number of electrons lost. - 2 e- +2 e- Use oxidation numbers to determine what is oxidized and what is reduced. 0 +2 e- Cu 2+ Cu (s) 0 - 2 e- H2(g) 2 H + Refer to Balancing Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

  18. QUESTION

  19. B) the oxidizing agent. Metals lose electrons, so they are oxidized, making the other reactant an oxidizing agent. ANSWER

  20. Balancing Redox Equationsin acidic solutions 1) Determine the oxidation numbers of atoms in both reactants and products. 2) Identify and select out those which change oxidation number (“redox” atoms) into separate “half reactions”. 3) Balance the “redox” atoms and charges (electron gain and loss must equal!). 4) In acidic reactions balance oxygen with water then hydrogen from water with acid proton(s).

The following unbalanced equation carried out in a basic solution, shows how MnO4– could be used to analyze samples for oxalate. MnO4– + C2O42– MnO2 + CO32– (basic solution) When properly balanced, how many OH– are present? 1 2 3 4

  32. ANSWER D). The redox equation could be balanced according to the steps for an acid solution, but then OH– must be added to neutralize the H+ ions. When done properly 4 OH– ions will be present in the basic equation. 2(MnO4– + 3 e– MnO2) 3(C2O42– 2 CO32– + 2 e–) + 4 OH– + 2 H2O
