Objective #4: Assignment of Oxidation Numbers Part I: Oxidation vs. Reduction • Oxidation is the loss of electrons; during this process the charge of a species increases • Reduction is the gain of electrons; during this process the charge of a species decreases • “OIL RIG” or “LEO the lion goes GER”
Objective #4: Assignment of Oxidation Numbers • Example I: Solid magnesium is reacted with oxygen gas in the air to produce solid magnesium oxide • Equation: 0 0 +2 -2 • Mg (s) + O2 (g) 2 MgO(s) *What is the magnesium doing? Mg Mg+2 + 2 e-1 *What is the oxygen doing? O + 2e-1 O-2
Which element has been oxidized? Mg • Which element has been reduced? O
Objective #4:Assignment of Oxidation Numbers • Example II: Water is added to produce sufficient heat to react solid forms of aluminum and iodine. The resulting reaction produces solid aluminum iodide. • Equation: 0 0∆ +3-1 2 Al(s) + 3 I2(s)2 AlI3 (s) *What is the aluminum doing? Al Al +3 + 3 e -1 *What is the iodine doing? I + e -1 I -1
*Which element has been oxidized? Al *Which element has been reduced? I
Objective #4:Assignment of Oxidation Numbers • In general, during REDOX reactions, • Metalstend to lose electrons and are oxidized • Nonmetals tend to gainelectrons and are reduced
Objective #4:Assignment of Oxidation Numbers Part II: Utilization of Oxidation Number Rules • See text p.232-233 • The “Big 4”: Group I elements are +1 Group II elements are +2 H is usually +1 O is usually -2 • Remember: 1)Elements are always neutral (zero)! • 2) The total of the oxidation • numbers in a compound must be • neutral (zero)!!
Oxidation Number Examples: He NaCl Na2Cr2O7 Ca(ClO3)2 OF Mg3(PO4)2 CrO4-2
Demo Redox Reaction: NaI(s) + H2SO4 (l) + MnO2 (s) I2 (g) + MnSO4(aq) + Na2SO4 (aq)+ H2O(l)
Objective #5:Balancing Redox Reactions • Writing Half-Reactions (charges and atoms must balance to in order to be conserved! ) • Examples: • K K+1 + _____ (__________) • S + _______ S-2 (__________) • Mg Mg+2 + _______ (__________) • _____F-1 ______+ F2 (__________)
Objective #5: Balancing Redox Reactions • Key Steps: 1.Write half-reactionsfor the oxidation and reduction sections of the reaction. 2. Balance all elements except hydrogenand oxygen. 3. Balance oxygen by using water. 4. Balance hydrogen by usinghydrogen ions.
5. Balance charge by adding electrons to the side that is deficientin electrons. 6. Equalize electrons lost and gained by multiplyingeach half-reaction by an appropriate factor. 7.Addtogether half-reactions and cancellike species. 8. Check that atomsand chargesbalance.
Example #1: • MnO4-1 + Fe -2 Fe +3 + Mn-2
Example #2: • Cr2O7-2 + Cl-1 Cr+3 + Cl2

Objective #6-8:Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Examples—see packet
Objective #6-8:Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Summary: • The charge of the element oxidized goes up • The charge of the element reduced goes down • The item oxidized is the reducingagent • The item reduced is the oxidizingagent • A species that is the source of BOTH oxidation and reductionis said to be disproportionate.
Objective #6-8:Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Oxidizing and Reducing Ability • Example Demo: Cu + AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + Ag • assignment of oxidation numbers: 0 +1 +5 -2 +2 +5 -2 0 Cu + AgNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + Ag • Cu has been oxidized and therefore Cu is the reducing agent • Ag has been reduced and therefore AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent
The more easily a species can lose electrons, the greater its ability to be a reducing agent and cause another species to gain electrons. • A species that loses electrons readily is unlikely to gain electrons and be reduced; such a species would not cause another species to lose electrons readily and therefore would act as a poor oxidizingagent
Objective #6-8: Oxidizing and Reducing Agents • Example: Na + FeCl3 NaCl + Fe • assignment of oxidation numbers: 0 +3 -1 +1 -1 0 Na + FeCl3 NaCl + Fe • _____ is oxidized Na • _____ is reduced Fe
*______ is the reducing agent and therefore would act as a ______ oxidizing agent Na, poor *______ is the oxidizing agent and therefore would act as a _______ reducing agent FeCl3, poor

Objective #11: Using an Activity Series • An activity series is a vertical listing of elements in terms of their chemical reactivity; elements that are more reactive are listed at the top and less reactive elements are listed near the bottom (SEE RXN. PACKET!!) • A reactive element can readily transfer its valence electrons to another element • In general, for a single replacement reaction to go to completion, the lone element in the reaction must be higheron activity series that the element in the compound it is trying to displace.
Remember, however, that an activity series should only be used as a general guide for predicting simple replacement reactions (see Table 3 on p.286) • Examples: • Predict if the following reactions will occur: Zn + H2O --› (assume Zn is +2 if rx. occurs) No Rx. Sn + O2 --› (assume Sn is +4 if rx. occurs) Rx. Occurs; SnO2 will form
Cd + Pb(NO3)2(assume Cd has a +2 charge if rx. occurs) Rx. occurs ; Cd(NO3)2 + Pb Cu + HCl(assume Cu has a charge of +2 if rx. occurs) No Rx.
