Study Notes
Oxidation and Reduction
- Oxidation: Loss of electrons
- Reduction: Gain of electrons
- OILRIG: Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain
- Oxidation and reduction always occur together
- Redox reactions involve both oxidation and reduction
Oxidising Agents
- A substance that brings about oxidation in other substances
- Always reduced in the process
Reducing Agents
- A substance that brings about reduction in other substances
- Always oxidized in the process
Examples of Redox Reactions
- 2Mg + O2 → 2MgO (Magnesium oxidized, oxygen reduced)
- Cu2+ + H2 → Cu + H2O (Cu2+ reduced, H2 oxidized)
- 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl (Sodium oxidized, chlorine reduced)
Oxidation Numbers
- The charge an atom has or appears to have when electrons are distributed
- Important in tracking electrons during chemical reactions involving covalent compounds
Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers
- Uncombined elements have an oxidation number of 0
- Ions have oxidation numbers equal to their charge
- The sum of oxidation numbers in a compound is zero
- Oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2 (except in peroxide compounds and OF2)
- Hydrogen usually has an oxidation number of +1 (except in metal hydrides)
- Halogens usually have an oxidation number of -1
Oxidation and Reduction in Terms of Oxidation Numbers
- Oxidation: Increase in oxidation number
- Reduction: Decrease in oxidation number
Examples of Oxidation and Reduction in Reactions
- Cu + 2H2SO4 → CuSO4 + SO2 + 2H2O (Cu oxidized; H2SO4 reduced)
- Chlorine reacts with potassium bromide solution (or potassium iodide) which demonstrates the oxidative ability of chlorine (or bromine)
The Oxidising Ability of the Halogens
- Chlorine displaces bromine from a solution of a bromide salt
- Chlorine displaces iodine from a solution of an iodide salt
- Bromine displaces iodine from a solution of an iodide salt
- A halogen will oxidise the ions of any other halogen below it in the group
Displacement Reactions of Metals
- Zinc displaces copper from copper sulfate solution, forcing copper atoms to accept electrons from zinc
Balancing Redox Equations
- A step-by-step method to balance redox reactions using oxidation numbers. This method is shown in the example of balancing MnO4- + Fe2+ + H+ → Mn2+ + Fe3+ + H2O.
