Redox Reaction • one or more elements change oxidation number • all single displacement, and combustion, • some synthesis and decomposition • always have both oxidation and reduction • split reaction into oxidation half-reaction and a reduction half-reaction • aka electron transfer reactions • half-reactions include electrons • oxidizing agentis reactant molecule that causes oxidation • contains element reduced • reducing agentis reactant molecule that causes reduction • contains the element oxidized Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Oxidation & Reduction • oxidation is the process that occurs when • oxidation number of an element increases • element loses electrons • compound adds oxygen • compound loses hydrogen • half-reaction has electrons as products • reduction is the process that occurs when • oxidation number of an element decreases • element gains electrons • compound loses oxygen • compound gains hydrogen • half-reactions have electrons as reactants Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Rules for Assigning Oxidation States • rules are in order of priority • free elements have an oxidation state = 0 • Na = 0 and Cl2 = 0 in 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) • monatomic ions have an oxidation state equal to their charge • Na = +1 and Cl = -1 in NaCl • (a) the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a compound is 0 • Na = +1 and Cl = -1 in NaCl, (+1) + (-1) = 0 Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Rules for Assigning Oxidation States • (b) the sum of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a polyatomic ion equals the charge on the ion • N = +5 and O = -2 in NO3–, (+5) + 3(-2) = -1 • (a) Group I metals have an oxidation state of +1 in all their compounds • Na = +1 in NaCl • (b) Group II metals have an oxidation state of +2 in all their compounds • Mg = +2 in MgCl2 Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Rules for Assigning Oxidation States • in their compounds, nonmetals have oxidation states according to the table below • nonmetals higher on the table take priority Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
oxidation reduction Oxidation and Reduction • oxidation occurs when an atom’s oxidation state increases during a reaction • reduction occurs when an atom’s oxidation state decreases during a reaction CH4 + 2 O2 → CO2 + 2 H2O -4 +1 0+4 –2 +1 -2 Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Oxidation–Reduction • oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously • if an atom loses electrons another atom must take them • the reactant that reduces an element in another reactant is called the reducing agent • the reducing agent contains the element that is oxidized • the reactant that oxidizes an element in another reactant is called the oxidizing agent • the oxidizing agent contains the element that is reduced 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 Na+Cl–(s) Na is oxidized, Cl is reduced Na is the reducing agent, Cl2 is the oxidizing agent Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

Electrical Current • when we talk about the current of a liquid in a stream, we are discussing the amount of water that passes by in a given period of time • when we discuss electric current, we are discussing the amount of electric charge that passes a point in a given period of time • whether as electrons flowing through a wire or ions flowing through a solution Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Redox Reactions & Current • redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from one substance to another • therefore, redox reactions have the potential to generate an electric current • in order to use that current, we need to separate the place where oxidation is occurring from the place that reduction is occurring Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

Electrochemical Cells • electrochemistryis the study of redox reactions that produce or require an electric current • the conversion between chemical energy and electrical energy is carried out in an electrochemical cell • spontaneous redox reactions take place in a voltaic cell • aka galvanic cells • nonspontaneous redox reactions can be made to occur in an electrolytic cell by the addition of electrical energy Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Electrochemical Cells • oxidation and reduction reactions kept separate • half-cells • electron flow through a wire along with ion flow through a solution constitutes an electric circuit • requires a conductive solid (metal or graphite) electrode to allow the transfer of electrons • through external circuit • ion exchange between the two halves of the system • electrolyte Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Electrodes • Anode • electrode where oxidation occurs • anions attracted to it • connected to positive end of battery in electrolytic cell • loses weight in electrolytic cell • Cathode • electrode where reduction occurs • cations attracted to it • connected to negative end of battery in electrolytic cell • gains weight in electrolytic cell • electrode where plating takes place in electroplating Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Voltaic Cell the salt bridge is required to complete the circuit and maintain charge balance Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Current and Voltage • the number of electrons that flow through the system per second is the current • unit = Ampere • 1 A of current = 1 Coulomb of charge flowing by each second • 1 A = 6.242 x 1018 electrons/second • Electrode surface area dictates the number of electrons that can flow • the difference in potential energy between the reactants and products is the potential difference • unit = Volt • 1 V of force = 1 J of energy/Coulomb of charge • the voltage needed to drive electrons through the external circuit • amount of force pushing the electrons through the wire is called the electromotive force, emf Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Cell Potential • the difference in potential energy between the anode the cathode in a voltaic cell is called the cell potential • the cell potential depends on the relative ease with which the oxidizing agent is reduced at the cathode and the reducing agent is oxidized at the anode • the cell potential under standard conditions is called the standard emf, E°cell • 25°C, 1 atm for gases, 1 M concentration of solution • sum of the cell potentials for the half-reactions Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Cell Notation • shorthand description of Voltaic cell • electrode | electrolyte || electrolyte | electrode • oxidation half-cell on left, reduction half-cell on the right • single | = phase barrier • if multiple electrolytes in same phase, a comma is used rather than | • often use an inert electrode • double line || = salt bridge Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach

Standard Reduction Potential • a half-reaction with a strong tendency to occur has a large + half-cell potential • when two half-cells are connected, the electrons will flow so that the half-reaction with the stronger tendency will occur • we cannot measure the absolute tendency of a half-reaction, we can only measure it relative to another half-reaction • we select as a standard half-reaction the reduction of H+ to H2 under standard conditions, which we assign a potential difference = 0 v • standard hydrogen electrode, SHE Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
Half-Cell Potentials • SHE reduction potential is defined to be exactly 0 v • half-reactions with a stronger tendency toward reduction than the SHE have a + value for E°red • half-reactions with a stronger tendency toward oxidation than the SHE have a value for E°red • E°cell = E°oxidation + E°reduction • E°oxidation = E°reduction • when adding E°values for the half-cells, do not multiply the half-cell E° values, even if you need to multiply the half-reactions to balance the equation Tro, Chemistry: A Molecular Approach
