CHAPTER 16Oxidation and Reduction
![Page 2: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Redox Reactions• Redox Reactions• Oxidation-Reduction reactions are one of the largest
groups of chemical reactions.• Oxidation / Reduction reaction• Redox chemistry is an important aspect of everyday life• Our bodies work by redox reactions – the food we eat is
oxidised to enable us to obtain the energy we need to live.• Redox chemistry is involved in;
– Bone healing, batteries, metal extraction, keeping swimming pools clean
![Page 3: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is oxidation – reduction?• Early chemists described the combining with oxygen using the term
oxidation– Eg combustion of propane (write the equation)– Eg burning of Iron (III) in air (write the equation)
Reactions involving the decomposition of a compound, with the loss of oxygen is called reduction (reduced to something simpler)
– Eg Copper (II) oxide may be reduced to copper by hydrogen (write the equation)– Eg Iron (II) oxide is reduced to iron by carbon monoxide in a blast furnace (write
the equation)
As one reactant is reduced, the other reactant is oxidised– Eg Magnesium burns in steam to form Magnesium oxide and hydrogen (write the
equation)

What is oxidation – reduction?• In any oxidation – reduction
reaction– The oxidant is the species which
causes oxidation and is itself reduced
– The reductant is the species which causes reduction and is itself oxidised
Write the equation for the oxidation of propane and label the processes, the oxidant and the reductant.

AN ELECTRON TRANSFER VIEW Redox reactions are electron transfer
reactions A substance that is oxidised is one that loses
electrons A substance that is reduced is one that gains
electrons The reductant loses electrons (is oxidised) The oxidant gains electrons (is reduced)
![Page 7: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
AN ELECTRON TRANSFER VIEW The oxidation of Mg in O2 to form MgO involves the
oxidation of Mg (write the equation and label the oxidant and reductant)
Now add electron transfer to your labels MgCl is formed by the combustion of Mg in Cl – no O2
involved (write the equation and label the oxidant and reductant)
Now add electron transfer to your labels Both above products are ionic substances and so contain
Mg2+. In the process of oxidation, each atom of Mg has lost two electrons
In general, a substance that is oxidised is one that loses electrons and is therefore an electron donor
In general, a substance that is reduced is one that gains electrons and is therefore an electron acceptor.

Oxidation numbers• Oxidation is an increase in the oxidation number of an
atom• Reduction is a decrease in the oxidation number of an
atom• Electrochemical reactions involve the transfer of electrons.
Mass and charge are conserved when balancing these reactions, but you need to know which atoms are oxidized and which atoms are reduced during the reaction.
• Oxidation numbers are used to keep track of how many electrons are lost or gained by each atom. These oxidation numbers are assigned using the following rules
• Oxidation numbers video
![Page 11: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Oxidation Numbers
• Oxidation number is defined as the imaginary charge an atom would have if it is existed as an ion in a compound.
– Eg. Na +1Cl -1 Cu+2SO4-2
![Page 12: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Rules for determining oxidation numbersFor each element or molecule that is involved in a reaction we need to follow these simple rules.
• Rule 1. All pure substances have an oxidation number of zero. This applies to any pure substance whether it is a diatomic gas like O2 or a piece of pure metal like Iron (Fe). Examples of
• Rule 2. In compounds, elements that usually have an ionic charge imparted by their position in a particular group have that same oxidation number. An example is Cl which is usually in the form Cl- in compounds; this will have an oxidation number of -1 in compounds.
• Rule 3. When two or more usually negatively charged ions are involved in a compound, the one with the highest electronegativity value is given its ionic charge as the oxidation number; the others are worked out normally. An example is OF2. F is more electronegative, and so it is assigned the value of -1.
• Rule 4. Oxygen in a compound always has an oxidation number of -2• Rule 5. Hydrogen in compounds always has an oxidation number of +1 except in the rare case
of Metal Hydrides where it has a value of -1. • Rule 6. The oxidation numbers in the compound or molecule must total to the overall charge
of that compound or molecule. For example CO2 has no overall charge and so the oxidation numbers must tally to zero. The sulfate ion, SO42-, has an overall charge of -2, so the oxidation numbers must tally to -2
![Page 13: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rules for determining oxidation numbers1. The oxidation number of an element is zero.– Eg. N2 oxidation number (O.N.) of N = 0
Fe O.N. of Fe = 0
2. The oxidation number of the simple ion is the charge on the ion.– Eg. Al2O3 O.N. of Al3+ = +3 and O.N. of O2- = -2
Cu2+ O.N. of Cu2+ = +2
3. The oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 in its compounds with non-metals. In metal hydrides, the oxidation number of hydrogen is -1.
– Eg. NH3 O.N.of H = +1 CaH2 O.N.of H = -1 HCl O.N. of H = +1
4. The oxidation number of oxygen is usually -2, except in peroxides. In peroxides, it is -1.– Eg. NO2 O.N.of O = -2 BaO2 O.N.of O = -1
H2O O.N. of O = -2 H2O2 O.N.of O = -1
5. In a neutral compound, sum of all oxidation numbers is zero.– Eg. MgCl2 Sum of O.N. = +2+(-1)x2 = 2-2 = 0
6. In a polyatomic ion, sum of all oxidation numbers must be equal to the charge on the ion.– Eg. CO3
2- Sum of O.N. = +4+(-2)x3 = -2
![Page 14: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Redox Reactions: In terms of oxidation numbers
• Oxidation numbers are used to track the electron transfer in redox reactions.
• In a redox reaction,1. If oxidation number is increased, oxidation has occurred.2. If oxidation number is decreased, reduction has occurred.
– Eg. 2Mg(s) + O2 (g) 2MgO(s)
Oxidation number 0 0 +2 and -2
Oxidation number of Mg has increased from 0 +2 Mg is oxidised.
Oxidation number of O2 has decreased from 0 -2 O2 is reduced.
![Page 15: Chapter 16](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56814b54550346895db84d4a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Using Oxidation Numbers• Assign oxidation numbers to
Mg(OH)2
• Note that the sum of the oxidation numbers must equal zero• Mg + (2 x O) + (2 x H) = +2 + 2x(-2) + 2x(+1)
= 2 – 4 + 2= 0
• The oxidation number of oxygen and hydrogen must be multiplied by two because each formula unit contains two of each of these atoms.
+2- 2 for each O atom
+1 for each H atom

Displacement Reaction• When zinc is placed in copper
sulphate solution a reaction occurs, causing copper metal to form on the zinc.
• Zinc removes copper from the solution and, as a result, the deep blue colour of the solution pales.
• If you place a copper strip in a solution of zinc sulphate, no reaction occurs.
• Zinc is more reactive than copper.

Electrochemical Cells• Zinc is a better reductant than copper and is therefore
oxidised (increases oxidation number) more readily than copper.
• As zinc is oxidised, electrons flow from the zinc metal to the copper ions.
• Energy is released in displacement reactions• Chemical energy can be converted into electrical energy in
an electrochemical cell.• The salt bridge provides ions to balance ions consumed or
produced in each cell• Electrochemical cell

Redox reactions at the electrodes of Zn/Cu cell • Anode - Zinc strip;
• Negative charge as electrons are produced; OxidAtion occurs. • Cathode - Copper strip;
• Positive charge; ReduCtion occurs.
• Salt bridge contains an electrolyte (KNO3 or KCl). • Its role is :
• To complete the circuit by providing continuous path for movement of ions.
• To maintain a balance of charges • NO3
- ions towards anode (to balance build up of cations)• anions towards the anode• and K+ towards cathode (to balance build up of anions) • cations towards the cathode

Redox reactions at the electrodes of Zn/Cu cell
• Electrons carry the current in the wire• The flow of ions completes the circuit• It is important that the ions in the salt
bridge do not react with chemicals in the beakers

Electrochemical Cells
• A simple electrochemical cell consists of :• Two half-cells, containing two electrodes
(anode and cathode) and two electrolytes• A conducting wire• A salt bridge, containing another electrolyte
• The more reactive metal gives electrons to the ions of the less reactive metal

Redox reactions at the electrodes of Zn/Cu cell
• In these half-cells, where is oxidation occuring? • Oxidation is occuring at the anode. • The most reactive metal is the zinc (giving electrons)• Where is reduction occuring?• Reduction is occuring at the cathode• The least reactive metal is the copper (receiving
electrons)• Electrons move from the more reactive to the less
reactive

Predicting Redox Reactions• If two metals (potential reductants) and their
corresponding cations (potential oxidants) are put together, only one reaction will occur.
• The reaction is always between a reductant and an oxidant, and takes place between the stronger oxidant and the stronger reductant.
• The electrochemical series is useful when trying to predict a reaction in a galvanic cell.

Increasing oxidising strength
Predicting Redox Reactions– Step 2: Locate the species from ECS and write down all possible half
reactions as in the order of the electrochemical series.Cl2 (g) + 2e- 2 Cl- (aq) Eo = + 1.36VO2 (g) + 4H+ (aq) + 4e- 2 H2O (l) Eo = + 1.23VI2 (g) + 2e- 2 I- (aq) Eo = + 0.54V2 H2O (l) + 2e- H2 (g) + 2OH- (aq) Eo = - 0.83VK+ (aq) + e- K (s) Eo = -2.93V
Increasing reducing strength

Predicting Redox Reactions– Step 3: Identify the strongest oxidant and strongest reductant.
Possible oxidants are Cl2, H2O and K+
Strongest oxidant is Cl2 (most positive Eo)
Possible reductants are H2O and I-
Strongest reductant is I- (most negative Eo)
Cl2 (g) + 2e- 2 Cl- (aq) Eo = + 1.36V
I2 (g) + 2e- 2 I- (aq) Eo = + 0.54V
The strongest oxidant will react with the strongest reductant.
