I. Redox • Assigning oxidation numbers • Use the periodic chart! • O-2 • Oxidation Number is -2 • K+1 • Oxidation Number is +1 • Fe • Oxidation Number is 0
11e- 11p+ Na atom Oxidation – Loss of Electrons • Iron Rusting: • Fe Fe 3+ + 3 e- • S-2 S + 2 e- 10e- 11p+ 1e- lose 1 electron Na+1ion Electrons on right side of arrow
18e- 17p+ Reduction – Gain of electrons • Cu+2 + 2 e- Cu • S + 2 e- S-2 17e- 17p+ +1e- gain 1 electron Cl-ion Cl atom Electrons on left side of arrow
Mnemonic device • “LEO the lion says GER!” • LEO = Loss of Electrons is OXIDATION • GER = Gain of Electrons is REDUCTION
Oxidizing agent – the species that causes oxidation the species that is reduced (gains electrons) • Reducing agent – the species that causes reduction the species that is oxidized (loses electrons)

II. Writing half-reaction A. Recall: Subatomic particles 29 29 29 29 29 27 Why are electrons lost/gained rather than protons?
B. Oxidation half reactions: LEO Cu0 Cu+2 + 2e- Fe+2 Fe+3 + 1 e- Oxidation number goes up What is the same in these two reactions? Lose electrons
C. Reduction half reactions: GER Cu+2 + 2e- Cu0 Mn+7 + 1e- Mn+6 S0 + 2e- S-2 Oxidation number goes down What is the same in these three reactions? Gain electrons
III. Write the oxidation and reduction half reactions from this equation: Ca + S Ca+2 + S-2 Oxidation Ca Ca+2 + 2 e- Reduction S + 2 e- S-2
IV. Vocabulary 1. electricity – Flow of electrons 2. voltage – “Force” causing the flow of electrons 3. anode – oxidation reaction 4. oxidation potential – voltage due to oxidation reaction AN OX
IV. Vocabulary (cont.) 5. cathode – reduction reaction 6. reduction potential – voltage due to reduction reaction (switch sign) 7. net voltage – oxidation potential + reduction potential 8. spontaneous reactions - a reaction that occurs on its own positive net voltage
V. Will Sn + Mg+2 react or Mg + Sn+2 ? look on Oxidation ½-rxn chart… Sn Sn2+ + 2e- V = 0.14 V Mg Mg2+ + 2e- V = 2.37 V Which reaction can be flipped so the net voltage is still positive ? Sn2+ + 2e- Sn V = - 0.14 V Mg Mg2+ + 2e- V = 2.37 V Sn2++ Mg Sn + Mg2+ V = 2.23 V
Will Cu + Ag+1 react or Ag + Cu+2 ? look on Oxidation ½-rxn chart… Cu Cu2+ + 2e- V = -0.34 V Ag Ag+1 + 1e- V = -0.80 V Which reaction can be flipped so the net voltage is still positive ? Ag+1 + 1e- Ag V = 0.80 V Cu Cu2+ + 2e- V = -0.34 V 2Ag+ + Cu 2Ag + Cu2+ V = 0.46 V 2 2 2
Review If reverse the reaction, what happens to V? If change coefficients, what happens to V?

IX. Galvanized iron Wrapped in Zinc. Which is more likely to oxidize, or ? A “sacrificial” metal like zinc is oxidized, the structural metal, Fe, remains pure Fe Zn
X. Underground storage tanks (iron) • Use sacrificial metals to keep structural metals from oxidizing
XI Aluminum wiring – a fire hazard?? • Aluminum Wire and Copper Connections • Mostly in houses built between 1965-1973 • Battery effect • Gaps from lost metal then lead to sparks, a fire hazard. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www3.telus.net/metrohomeinspections/images/burned_outlet.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www3.telus.net/metrohomeinspections/aluminum.htm&h=132&w=199&sz=5&hl=en&start=20&sig2=8KgC_kYwotKxkR4tQ1DnSw&um=1&tbnid=LVV-n0RtI_83WM:&tbnh=69&tbnw=104&ei=8OVBRofGHo3oiQGWq93aDA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Daluminum%2Bwiring%2Bfire%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN
This is a Copper-nickel pump that was feeding sea water to a pure titanium pump down stream. The galvanic action from the titanium pump pulled most of the copper out of the copper-nickel pump. It was only 2 years old and had to be replaced with a glass composite impeller.
Cell or Battery? Electrochemical Cells combine to make batteries AA, AAA, C, and D “batteries” are really cells = 1.5 V
