A. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions (4.4, 20.1 to 20.2)

1. reactions involve the transfer of electrons (or control of electrons) from substance that is oxidized (reducing agent) to substance that is reduced (oxidizing agent)

|Electrons |Process |Agent |

|Lose |Oxidation |Reducing Agent |

|Gain |Reduction |Oxidizing Agent |

2. oxidation number

a. each atom is assigned an oxidation number which represents the number of electrons (compared to a neutral atom) that the atom has control over

1. zero for isolated neutral atom

2. equals ionic charge for monatomic ions

b. overall oxidation number for polyatomic species

1. zero for neutral compound or molecule

2. equals ionic charge for polyatomic ion

c. assign oxidation numbers to atoms within a molecule or polyatomic ion

1. assign the standard value for the following

a. Li+,...(+1), Mg2+...(+2), Al (+3), F- (-1)

b. O (-2) except for peroxides, O22- (-1)

c. H (+1) except for hydrides, MHx (-1)

2. determine the missing atom's value by using the total for the compound (see 2b)

3. balancing redox equations

|assign oxidation to each atom (see 2c) |

|determine oxidized atom (oxidation # increases) and reduced atom |

|(oxidation # decreases) |

|split the reaction into an oxidation half-reaction and a reduction |

|half-reaction |

|eliminate "spectator" ions (ion that doesn't contain atom that changes |

|oxidation number—often cation) |

|balance each half reaction |

|balance atoms except O and H |

|balance O, by adding H2O |

|balance H, by adding H+ |

|balance charge, by adding e- |

|multiple half-reactions to equalize electrons |

|add half-reactions together |

|simplify by reducing H2O and H+ and/or coefficients |

|this process assumes reaction takes place in acid (H+), if in base, add |

|an OH- for each H+ in the final equation (combine H+ and OH- to make |

|water) |

4. reduction half reactions of common oxidizing agents

a. MnO4- + 8 H+ + 5 e- → Mn2+ + 4 H2O

b. Cr2O72- + 14 H+ + 6 e- → 2 Cr3+ + 7 H2O

5. oxidation of reactive metals

a. metal ion takes electron from metal listed lower on the Standard Potential Chart (see section B)

metal + salt → salt of metal + new metal

Zn(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) → Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)

net ionic: Zn(s) + Cu2+ → Zn2+ + Cu(s)

b. H+ ion takes electron from metal with negative standard potential (see chart in section B)

metal + acid → salt of metal + hydrogen gas

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

net ionic: Zn(s) + 2 H+ → Zn2+ + H2(g)

c. hydrogen in water takes electron from column 1 and heavier column 2 metals

2 Na(s) + 2 H2O → 2 Na+ + 2 OH- + H2(g)

Ca(s) + 2 H2O → Ca2+ + 2 OH- + H2(g)

6. redox with metal hydride and water (the hydrogen in the hydride (ox # = -1) reacts with the hydrogen in water (ox # = +1) to form H2 (ox # = 0)

NaH(s) + H2O → Na+ + OH- + H2(g)

CaH2(s) + 2 H2O → Ca2+ + 2 OH- + 2 H2(g)
