Involve two processes: Oxidation – the loss of electrons, and Reduction – the gain of electrons Ca(s) + 2 H2O(l)→ Ca(OH)2(s) + H2(g) Oxidizer = Oxidizing agent = received the electrons and is reduced during the reaction Reducer = Reducing agent = donated the electrons and is oxidized during the reaction Oxidation –Reduction Reactions 5.1. Oxidation-reduction reactions involve electron transfer
Guidelines For Redox Reactions • Oxidation and reduction always occur together • Total number of e- lost by one substance is the same as the total number of e- gained by the other • For a redox reaction to occur, something must accept the e- that are lost by another substance 5.1. Oxidation-reduction reactions involve electron transfer
Oxidation Numbers • Oxidation number: • of any free element is zero • of any simple, monoatomic ion is equal to the charge on the ion • Fluorine in compounds is –1 • Group 1A in compounds is +1 • Oxygen in compounds is -2 • the sum of all oxidation numbers of the atoms in a molecule or polyatomic ion must equal the charge on the particle 5.1.

Determining if a Redox reaction is occurring • If the oxidation numbers change, a redox reaction is occurring • Increasing oxidation # denotes oxidation • Decreasing oxidation # denotes reduction • If the oxidation numbers remain static, no redox is occurring 5.2 The ion–electron method creates balanced net ionic equations for redox reactions
Balancing Redox Reactions: Ion-Electron Method • Identify the half-reactions • Balance each atom in the half reaction, saving H and O for last • Balance O by adding 1 water molecule for each needed O • Balance H by adding 1 H+ ion for each needed H 5.2 The ion–electron method creates balanced net ionic equations for redox reactions
Balancing Redox Reactions: (Cont.) • Balance charges by adding electrons to the more positive side • Find the least common multiple of electrons for the two half- reactions. Multiply each reaction by the factor needed to achieve the LCM of electrons • Add the half reactions, canceling like substances that appear on both sides 5.2 The ion–electron method creates balanced net ionic equations for redox reactions
Balancing Basic Reactions • The simplest way to balance reactions in basic solution is to first balance them as if they were in acidic solution, then “convert” to basic solution • Additional Steps for Basic Solutions 8) To both sides of the equation, add the same number of OH- ions as there are H+. 9) Combine H+ and OH- to form H2O 10) Cancel H2O molecules that are on both sides of the reaction. 5.2 The ion–electron method creates balanced net ionic equations for redox reactions

Half-Reaction Method for Balancing Redox Reactions • Summary: This method divides the overall redox reaction into oxidation and reduction half-reactions. • Each reaction is balanced for mass (atoms) and charge. • One or both are multiplied by some integer to make the number of electrons gained and lost equal. • The half-reactions are then recombined to give the balanced redox equation. • Advantages: • The separation of half-reactions reflects actual physical separations in electrochemical cells. • The half-reactions are easier to balance especially if they involve acid or base. • It is usually not necessary to assign oxidation numbers to those species not undergoing change.
