ACTIVITY SERIES • The activity series is another way to predict spontaneity of single replacement reactions. • The activity series is located on page 245 of your text. • Under normal conditions an element will replace any dissolved ions beneath it.
ACTIVITY SERIES EXAMPLE Zinc metal will replace copper ions since copper is below zinc on the activity series. Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s) Zn (s) + Cu2+(aq) Zn (s) + Cu2+(aq) Zn2+(aq) + Cu(s)
OXIDATION NUMBER RULES • An elements are zero. Ex. Na(s), O3(g), Hg(l) • Oxidation no. is equal to the charge. Na+ = 1+ • Assume fluorine to always be 1- • Oxygen is usually 2-, except for peroxide, which is 1- • Hydrogen is 1+ in covalent compounds Give the oxidation number of chlorine in each of the following. a. HClO4 b. HClO3 c. HClO2 d. HClO e. Cl2 f. HCl g. ClO4- h. Cl-
Definitions • Oxidation is when the charge increases by losing electrons. • Reduction is when the charge decreases by gaining electrons. • Oxidizing Agent, is the substance reduced. It causes something else to be oxidized • Reducing Agent, is the substance oxidized. It causes something to be reduced
