DO NOW:. Topic: Spontaneity in REDOX. One beaker Contains: Zn (NO 3 ) 2 & Cu AgNO 3 & Cu Which beaker is which…how can you tell?!. Single Replacement reactions are Redox Rxns. Use table J to predict if the reaction is spontaneous

DO NOW: Topic: Spontaneity in REDOX • One beaker Contains: • Zn(NO3)2 & Cu • AgNO3& Cu • Which beaker is which…how can you tell?!
Single Replacement reactions are Redox Rxns • Use table J to predict if the reaction is spontaneous • Any metal will donate (lose) its electrons to ionof any metal below it. = Spontaneous • Any nonmetal will steal (gain)electrons from the ionof any nonmetal below it. = Spontaneous
One beaker Contains: • Zn(NO3)2 & Cu • AgNO3& Cu • Which beaker is which…how can you tell?!
Which of the following will occur spontaneously • Li + AlCl3 • Cs + CuCl2 • I2 + NaCl • Cl2 + KBr • Fe + CaBr2 • Mg + Sr(NO3)2 • F2 + MgCl2 Yes Yes No Yes No No Yes
If the metal being oxidized is higher on table J, the rxn is spontaneous • You just told me this is spontaneous • 3Li + AlCl3 3LiCl + Al • Let’s look at it in terms of Oxidation Reduction 0 +3 -1 +3 -1 0 • 3Li + AlCl3 3LiCl + Al • Lithium = 0 +3 so it was oxidized • Aluminum = +30 so it was reduced
If the nonmetal being reduced is higher on table J, the rxn is spontaneous • You just told me this is spontaneous • F2 + MgCl2 MgF2 + Cl2 • Let’s look at it in terms of Oxidation Reduction 0 +2 -1 +2 -1 0 • F2 + MgCl2 MgF2 + Cl2 • Fluorine = 0 -1 so it was reduced • Chlorine = -10 so it was oxidized
