Chem Catalyst How is an ion formed?
Today’s Agenda: • Do Now • Intro: New Chapter • Notes- Oxidation & Reduction • Practice Worksheet
New Topic: Electrochemistry Chapter 20 (and some Chapter 21) • Oxidation and Reduction • Writing Redox Reactions • Voltaic cells/batteries
Oxidation Reactions • Originally defined as combining the element with oxygen • Now defined as loss of electrons (shift of electrons away from an atom) • Charge becomes more positive (increases)
Reduction Reactions • Originally defined as removing oxygen from a compound with the element • Now defined as gain of electrons (shift of electrons toward an atom) • Charge becomes more negative (charge decreases) • Occurs alongside an oxidation reaction
Redox Reactions • A reaction that includes oxidation and reduction • The substance that gains electrons is reduced • The substance that loses electrons is oxidized • “LEO the lion goes GER” • Losing Electrons is Oxidation; Gaining Electrons is Reduction
Redox Reactions: Practice Identify the element being reduced and the element being oxidized: Hint: break apart the ionic compounds 2AgNO3 + Cu Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag *Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent
Redox Reactions: Practice Identify the element being reduced and the element being oxidized: 2Na + Br2 2NaBr
Applications of Redox: • Some metals (gold, platinum) are not easily oxidized • Iron is oxidized by oxygen, causing corrosion • Can be coated w/ aluminum, whose oxide does not corrode • Connect to an easily oxidized metal (zinc, magnesium) which will transfer electrons to iron
