Week 9 Lesson 2 Oxidation Reduction

The document explains oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, highlighting their role in energy production and examples such as rusting and the Statue of Liberty's patina. It outlines key concepts including the transfer of electrons, oxidation numbers, and rules for assigning these numbers. Additionally, it provides examples of single replacement reactions and oxidation state changes.

WEEK 9
EXPLAIN OXIDATION/REDUCTION
REACTIONS
OXIDATION−REDUCTION
REACTIONS
• provides us with energy from food.
• provides electrical energy in batteries.
• occurs when iron rusts:
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)
OXIDATION−REDUCTION
In an oxidation–reduction reaction, electrons
are transferred from one substance to another.

OIL RIG
Oxidation Is Loss of electrons. Reduction Is Gain of electrons.

LEO the lion says GER


Lose of Electron Oxidation, Gain Electron Reduction
OXIDATION−REDUCTION
The green patina on the Statue
of Liberty is due to the
oxidation of copper metal as it
forms a green solid, CuO.
2Cu(s) → 2Cu2+(s) + 4e− oxidation
O2(g) + 4e− → 2O2− (s) reduction
2Cu(s) + O2(g) → 2CuO(s)
ZN TRANSFERS ELECTRONS TO CU2+

In a single replacement reaction, Zn(s) is oxidized to Zn2+(aq) when


it provides two electrons to reduce Cu2+(aq) to Cu(s).
ASSIGNING OXIDATION
NUMBERS

1. Elements in their elemental form have


an oxidation number of 0. So, Na has
an oxidation number of zero.
2. The oxidation number of a monatomic
ion is the same as its charge.
• Group 1 Metals are always 1+
• Group 2 Metals are always 2+
ASSIGNING OXIDATION
NUMBERS
3. Nonmetals tend to have negative oxidation
numbers, although some are positive in certain
compounds or ions.

Oxygen is always 2- except when combined with F or


in Peroxides
(In OF2 ,O is 2+ and in H2O2 ,O is 1- )
Hydrogen is −1 when bonded to a metal, +1
when bonded to a nonmetal.
Fluorine always has an oxidation number of −1.
The other halogens have an oxidation number of
−1 when they are negative; they can have
positive oxidation numbers, however, most
notably in oxyanions.
KEY RULES FOR OXIDATION
NUMBERS
• Element alone = 0 (e.g., O₂, N₂, Fe)
• Group 1 metals = +1; Group 2 metals = +2
• Oxygen = usually –2 (except in peroxides, where it’s –1)
• Hydrogen = +1 with nonmetals, –1 with metals
• The sum of oxidation numbers = total charge of the
compound/ion.
1. Cl2 + NaBr NaCl + Br2

Ans:

Cl₂: 0 → –1 (reduction → gained electrons)


Br⁻: –1 → 0 (oxidation → lost electrons)
1. Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 +H2
2. SO2 + CO S + CO2
