Study Notes
Redox Reactions
- A redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the transfer of electrons from one substance to another.
- Also known as oxidation-reduction reactions.
Oxidation
- Loss of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion.
- Results in an increase in oxidation state (number of electrons lost).
- Example: 2Mg → 2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ (magnesium loses electrons to form magnesium ions)
Reduction
- Gain of one or more electrons by an atom, molecule, or ion.
- Results in a decrease in oxidation state (number of electrons gained).
- Example: Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu (copper ions gain electrons to form copper)
Redox Couples
- A pair of species that differ by only one electron.
- Example: Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺, Cu²⁺ / Cu⁺
Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
- Oxidizing agent (oxidizer): a substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons.
- Reducing agent (reducer): a substance that causes reduction by donating electrons.
- Example: In the reaction between hydrogen and fluorine, hydrogen is the reducing agent and fluorine is the oxidizing agent.
Balancing Redox Equations
- Half-reaction method:
- Write two half-reactions: oxidation and reduction.
- Balance each half-reaction separately.
- Combine the half-reactions to form the overall reaction.
- Example: Balancing the reaction between permanganate and iron(II) in acidic solution.
Redox Reaktioner
- En redox reaktion er en kemisk reaktion, hvor der overføres elektroner fra et stof til et andet.
- Også kendt som oxidation-reduktion reaktioner.
Oxidation
- Tab af en eller flere elektroner af et atom, molekyle eller ion.
- Resulterer i en øgning i oxidationstilstand (antal elektroner tabt).
- Eksempel: 2Mg → 2Mg²⁺ + 4e⁻ (magnesium taber elektroner og danner magnesiumioner).
Reduktion
- Opnåelse af en eller flere elektroner af et atom, molekyle eller ion.
- Resulterer i en nedgang i oxidationstilstand (antal elektroner opnået).
- Eksempel: Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu (kopperioner opnår elektroner og danner kopper).
Redox Par
- Et par af arter, der kun adskiller sig ved ét elektron.
- Eksempel: Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺, Cu²⁺ / Cu⁺.
Oxiderende og Reducerende Agenser
- Oxiderende agens (oxidator): et stof, der forårsager oxidation ved at acceptere elektroner.
- Reducerende agens (reducer): et stof, der forårsager reduktion ved at donere elektroner.
- Eksempel: I reaktionen mellem hydrogen og fluor, er hydrogen reducerende agens og fluor er oxiderende agens.
Balancering af Redox Ligninger
- Halvreaktions-metoden:
- Skriv to halvreaktioner: oxidation og reduktion.
- Balancer hver halvreaktion separat.
- Kombiner halvreaktionerne til at danne den overordnede reaktion.
- Eksempel: Balancering af reaktionen mellem permanganat og jern(II) i sur løsning.
