Chemistry I Honors—Unit 6: Chemical Equations / Reactions/Redox
Objectives #1-3:Introduction to Chemical Reactions, Reaction Interpretation, and Balancing • Chemical Equations • Describe chemical reactions • Starting substances are called reactants • Ending substances are called products • All chemical reactions must follow the Law of Conservation of Matter by being balanced
II. Interpreting Chemical Equations A. Symbols
Objectives #1-3:Introduction to Chemical Reactions, Reaction Interpretation, and Balancing II. B. Writing Unbalanced Equations --See examples in packet III. Balancing Chemical Equations • Basic Procedures: • Be sure all formulasare correct before attempting to balance • Never balance by changing subscripts • Use coefficientsto balance • Typeand number of atoms on each side of reaction must balance • Coefficients used must be in the lowest • ratio possible
Objectives #1-3:Introduction to Chemical Reactions, Reaction Interpretation, and Balancing (examples in lecture guide)
Objective #4: Assignment of Oxidation Numbers Part I: Oxidation vs. Reduction • Oxidation is the loss of electrons; during this process the charge of a species increases • Reduction is the gain of electrons; during this process the charge of a species decreases • “OIL RIG” or “LEO the lion goes GER”
Objective #4: Assignment of Oxidation Numbers • Example I: Solid magnesium is reacted with oxygen gas in the air to produce solid magnesium oxide • Equation: 0 0 +2 -2 • Mg(s) + O2 (g) 2 MgO(s) *What is the magnesium doing? Mg --› Mg+2 + 2e-1 *What is the oxygen doing? O + 2e-1 --› O-2
*Which element has been oxidized? Mg *Which element has been reduced? O
Objective #4: Assignment of Oxidation Numbers *Example II: Water is added to produce sufficient heat to react solid forms of aluminum and iodine. The resulting reaction produces solid aluminum iodide. • Equation: ∆ 2 Al(s) + 3 I2(s) --› 2 AlI3 (s) *What is the aluminum doing? Al --› Al+3 + 3e-1 *What is the iodine doing? I + e-1 --› I-1
*Which element has been oxidized? Al *Which element has been reduced? I
Objective #4 Assignment of Oxidation Numbers • In general, during REDOX reactions, • Metals tend to lose electrons and are oxidized • Nonmetalstend to gain electrons and are reduced
Objective #4: Assignment of Oxidation Numbers Part II: Utilization of Oxidation Number Rules • See text p.232-233 • The “Big 4”: Group I elements are +1 Group II elements are +2 H is usually +1 O is usually -2 • Examples (see packet) • Demo Redox Reaction
Objective #5 Balancing Redox Reactions *Writing Half-Reactions (charges and atoms must balance) (examples)
Objective #5: Balancing Redox Reactions • Key Steps: 1.Write half-reactionsfor the oxidation and reduction sections of the reaction. 2. Balance all elements except hydrogenand oxygen. 3. Balance oxygen by using water. 4. Balance hydrogen by using hydrogen ions.
Objective #5: Balancing Redox Reactions 5.Balance charge by adding electrons to the side that is deficientin electrons. 6. Equalize electrons lost and gained by multiplyingeach half-reaction by an appropriate factor. 7.Addtogether half-reactions and cancellike species. 8.Check that atoms and chargesbalance. (examples)
Objective #6-8: Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Examples—see packet
Objective #6-8: Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Summary: • The charge of the element oxidized goes up • The charge of the element reduced goes down • The item oxidized is the reducingagent • The item reduced is the oxidizingagent • A species that is the source of BOTH oxidation and reduction is said to be disproportionate.
Objective #6-8: Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Oxidizing and Reducing Ability • Example Demo: Cu + AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + Ag *assignment of oxidation numbers: 0 +1+5-2 +2+5-2 0 Cu + AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + Ag *Cu has been oxidized and therefore Cu is the reducing agent *Ag has been reduced and therefore AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent
*the more easily a species can lose electrons, the greater its ability to be a reducing agent and cause another species to gain electrons *a species that loses electrons readily is unlikely to gain electrons and be reduced; such a species would not cause another species to lose electrons readily and therefore would act as a poor oxidizing agent
Objective #6-8: Oxidizing and Reducing Agents Example: Na + FeCl3 NaCl + Fe *assignment of oxidation numbers: 0 +3-1 +1-1 0 Na + FeCl3 NaCl + Fe *_____ is oxidized Na *_____ is reduced Fe
*______ is the reducing agent and therefore would act as a ______ oxidizing agent Na, poor *______ is the oxidizing agent and therefore would act as a _______ reducing agent FeCl3, poor
