Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Redox

LEO SAYS GER

Oxidation and Reduction (Redox)


Electrons are transferred Spontaneous redox rxns can transfer

energy Electrons (electricity) Heat

Non-spontaneous redox rxns can be

made to happen with electricity

Oxidation Reduction Reactions (Redox)

2 Na Cl 2 2 Na Cl
Each sodium atom loses one electron: 0 1

Na Na e
1

Each chlorine atom gains one electron:

Cl e Cl

LEO says GER :


Lose Electrons = Oxidation

Na Na e
0

Sodium is oxidized

Gain Electrons = Reduction

Cl e Cl

Chlorine is reduced

Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers Rules 1 & 2 1. The oxidation number of any uncombined element is zero 2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals its charge

2 Na Cl 2 2 Na Cl

Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers Rules 3 & 4 3. The oxidation number of oxygen in compounds is -2
4. The oxidation number of hydrogen in compounds is +1

H2O

Rules for Assigning Oxidation Number Rule 5


5. The sum of the oxidation numbers in the formula of a compound is 0

2 1

H2O
2(+1) + (-2) = 0 H O

Ca (O H ) 2
(+2) + 2(-2) + 2(+1) = 0 Ca O H

Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers Rule 6


6. The sum of the oxidation numbers in the formula of a polyatomic ion is equal to its charge

? 2

N O3

? 2

S O4

X + 3(-2) = -1 N O X = +5

X + 4(-2) = -2 S O X = +6

The Oxidation Number Rules SIMPLIFIED 1. The sum of the oxidation numbers in ANYTHING is equal to its charge 2. Hydrogen in compounds is +1
3. Oxygen in compounds is -2

Not All Reactions are Redox Reactions


Reactions in which there has been no change in oxidation number are not redox rxns.
Examples:

Ag N O3 (aq) Na Cl (aq) Ag Cl (s) Na N O3 (aq)


2 Na O H (aq) H 2 S O 4 (aq) Na 2 S O 4 (aq) H 2 O(l )

Reducing Agents and Oxidizing Agents


The substance reduced is the oxidizing agent The substance oxidized is the reducing agent 0 1

Na Na e

Sodium is oxidized it is the reducing agent 0 1

Cl e Cl

Chlorine is reduced it is the oxidizing agent

Trends in Oxidation and Reduction


Active metals: Lose electrons easily Are easily oxidized

Active nonmetals: Gain electrons easily Are easily reduced
