Oxidation Reduction Worksheet - San Diego Mesa College

We now understand that redox (oxidation reduction) reactions involve the transfer of electrons. Consider, for instance, the reaction between Copper ions (Cu+2(aq)) and Zinc metal (Zn(s)). The subscript (aq) on Cu+2 stands for “aqueous” and means that the ion is dissolved in water. The subscript (s) on Zn means that the Zinc metal is a solid. ................
