Redox
Assign oxidation numbers to reactant and product species.
•Define oxidation and reduction.
•Explain oxidation-reduction reactions (redox reactions).
Oxidation of Copper
Reduction of Iron Ore

Oxidation and reduction reactions:what the gosh darn heck are they?
Oxidation: the LOSS of electrons
Reduction: the GAIN of electrons
![Page 3: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Redox
LEO the lion says GER! OIL RIG
Loss of Electrons is Oxidation.Gain of Electrons is Reduction.
Oxidation Is the Loss of electrons.Reduction Is the Gain of electrons.

Connection to Electrochemistry
• RED CAT • AN OX
REDuction occurs at the CAThode.OXidation occurs at the ANode.

Half Reactions• Show what happens to electrons in the two parts of
a redox reaction: the reduction and the oxidation• Steel hulls in ships have zinc blocks attached
because they oxidize and release electrons. These electrons get consumed by the steel and prevent corrosion.
![Page 7: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Rules for Writing Half-Reactions Equations
1. The number of electrons gained must equal the number of electrons lost.
2. The equation must balance with respect to both atoms and charge.
(Charge and mass are conserved in redox equations.)
![Page 8: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Assigning Oxidation Numbers
![Page 9: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
•An oxidation number is not based on any real charge on the atom.
•It is based on the atom’s electronegativity relative to the other atoms to which it is bonded in a given molecule.
•Oxidation numbers are always reported for one individual atom or ion and not for groups of atoms or ions.
![Page 10: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Write the half-reaction equations for the redoxreaction
Mg (s) + Br2 (l) → MgBr2 (s)
• Step 1: Use oxidation numbers to determine what is oxidized and what is reduced
0 0 2+ 1-
Mg (s) + Br2 (l) → MgBr2 (s)
What happened to Mg?
Mg gained a positive charge so it lost electrons.
It is oxidized.
![Page 11: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
0 0 2+ 1-
Mg (s) + Br2 (l) → MgBr2 (s)
What happened to Br2?
Br2 got a negative charge so it gained electrons.
It is reduced.
• Step 2 : Write two separate equations: one showing oxidation and another showing reduction. Use coefficients to balance the number of atoms.
Mg → Mg2+
Br2 → 2Br-
![Page 12: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step 3: Make the charge balance in each equation by adding electrons.
Mg → Mg2+ + 2e-
Br2 + 2e- → 2Br-
Check:1. The number of electrons gained must
equal the number of electrons lost.
2. The equation must balance with respect to both atoms and charge.

Redox Reactions and Covalent Bonds
• Substances with covalent bonds also undergo redox reactions. When hydrogen burns in chlorine, a covalent bond forms from the sharing of two electrons.
• The pair of electrons is more strongly attracted to the chlorine atom because of its higher electronegativity.

H + Cl 2HCl–
• Neither atom has totally lost or totally gained any electrons.
• Hydrogen has donated a share of its bonding electron to the chlorine but has not completely transferred that electron.

Objectives
• Balance redox equations by using the half-reaction method.
• Identify oxidizing and reducing agents.
• Explain the concept of disproportionation.
![Page 16: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Balancing Redox Equations
• Simple redox equations can be balanced by inspection (the method you previously learned), but most redox equations cannot be balanced by inspection.
• A more systematic approach called the half-reaction method, or ion-electron method, is required.
![Page 17: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Seven Steps of the Half-Reaction Method
1. Write the formula equation if it is not given in the problem. Then write the ionic equation.
2. Assign oxidation numbers. Delete substances containing only elements that do not change oxidation state.
3.Write the half-reaction for oxidation. Balance the atoms. Balance the charge.4.Write the half-reaction for reduction. Balance the atoms. Balance the charge.
![Page 18: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• 5. Conserve charge by adjusting the coefficients in front of the electrons so that the number lost in oxidation equals the number gained in reduction.
• 6. Combine the half-reactions, and cancel out anything common to both sides of the equation.
• 7. Combine ions to form the compounds shown in the original formula equation. Check to ensure that all other ions balance.

Oxidizing and Reducing Agents
• Label a small object (such as an empty box) “electrons.”
• Ask a classmate to take the electrons from you.
• The other student was the agent of your losing the electrons and you were the agent of the other student’s gaining the electrons.
![Page 30: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
• By causing you to lose your electrons, the other student is the oxidizing agent.
• You are the reducing agent because you caused the student to gain electrons.
• The student is reduced by you, and you are oxidized by the other student.
![Page 31: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
A reducing agent is a substance that has the potential to cause another substance to be reduced.
An oxidizing agent is a substance that has the potential to cause another substance to be oxidized.
![Page 32: Redox](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022013101/5588e2a1d8b42a656b8b45ea/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Disproportionation
• A process in which a substance acts as both an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent is called disproportionation.
• A substance that undergoes disproportionation is both self-oxidizing and self-reducing.
Example: Hydrogen peroxide is both oxidized and reduced
