  1. Redox Reactions. Reduction Oxidation

  2. GCSE • Oxidation: • Gain of oxygen • Loss of electrons • Reduction: • Loss of oxygen • Gain of electrons Increase in oxidation number Decrease in oxidation number

  3. 4 Experiments: • Burning magnesium • Copper in silver nitrate solution • Chlorine solution and potassium iodide solution • Exploding hydrogen • Word equation • Balanced symbol equation

  4. Oxidised – gains oxygen 2Mg(s) + O2(g)  2MgO(s) Must be a redox! Mg  Mg2+ Oxidised – loss of e- +2e- Put the e- in. O  O2- Reduced – gain of e- +2e-

  5. Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq)  Cu(NO3 )2(aq) + 2Ag(s) Complete the half-equations Oxidised? Reduced? Cu  Cu2+ Oxidised – loss of e- +2e- Ag+ Ag Reduced – gain of e- +e-

  6. Try Question 1.

  7. H2(g) + ½ O2(g)H2O(g) Covalent! Need a new definition. No H+ or OH-

  8. GCSE • Oxidation: • Gain of oxygen • Loss of electrons • Reduction: • Loss of oxygen • Gain of electrons Increase in oxidation number Decrease in oxidation number

  9. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation number of an atom in an element is zero. E.g. Mg in Mg, O in O2.

  10. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation numbers of atoms in a compound add up to zero. Oxidation state of C in CO2? ? – 4 = 0 ? = +4 Put the +!

  11. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation numbers of atoms in a compound add up to zero. Oxidation state of Mg in MgCl2? +2

  12. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation numbers of atoms in a compound add up to zero. Oxidation state of N in NH3? -3

  13. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation numbers of atoms in an ion add up to the charge on the ion. Oxidation state of S in SO42-? ? – 8 = -2 ? = +6

  14. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation numbers of atoms in an ion add up to the charge on the ion. Oxidation state of S in S2-? -2

  15. Oxidation Numbers • The oxidation numbers of atoms in an ion add up to the charge on the ion. Oxidation state of N in NH4+? -3

  16. Try Question 2.

  17. H2(g) + ½ O2(g)H2O(g) Covalent! Need a new definition. No H+ or OH-

  18. GCSE • Oxidation: • Gain of oxygen • Loss of electrons • Reduction: • Loss of oxygen • Gain of electrons Increase in oxidation number Decrease in oxidation number

  19. H2(g) + ½ O2(g)H2O(g) H Covalent! +1 0 O 0 -2 Need a new definition. No H+ or OH-

  20. H2(g) + ½ O2(g)H2O(g) H +1 0 O 0 -2 Oxidised? Reduced? O – decrease in oxidation number H – increase in oxidation number

  21. Try Question 3.

  22. Oxidation Numbers and names • To avoid any confusion when an element can have several oxidation numbers, the oxidation number is usually mentioned in the compound’s name. In names like “elementate(X)”, the number refers to “element” and not the associated oxygens. • So if we look at some examples , we get the following names:- KMnO4 potassium manganate(VII) NaClO3 sodium chlorate(V) POCl2F phosphorus(V) oxydichlorofluoride NaH2PO3 sodium dihydrogenphosphate(III) K2Cr2O7 potassium dichromate(VI) Check the numbers.

  23. Try any 3 in Question 7.

  24. Well done!
