REDOX Part 2. ROTTING!. RUST!. COMBUSTION!. This is a redox process by which YOUR BODY STORES ENERGY . . An oxidation-reduction reaction ( redox for short) is: If you have one of these processes, you must have the other. Why?.

An oxidation-reduction reaction (redox for short) is:If you have one of these processes, you must have the other. Why?
The number of electrons lost and gained in a reaction must be equal. What Law demands this?You can use this fact to help balance difficult equations.
For example: the space shuttle was lifted off the earth by this tough redox reaction:NH4ClO4+ Al → Al2O3 + HCl+ N2 + H2O
The copper atoms LOST ELECTRONS; i.e., they wereCu0 (s) → Cu2+(aq) + 2e1-
The silver ions GAINED ELECTRONS; i.e., they were1e- +Ag1+(aq) → Ag0 (s)
How will you remember which is OXIDATION, and which is REDUCTION?
This type of reaction is ___________ a redox reaction.Single replacement Combustion Combination Decomposition reactions Double replacement
We will be doing a demonstration that includes redox reactions. The demo is called the “Hindenburg.”It was the “pride” of Nazi Germany – and capable of crossing the Atlantic Ocean. (1930’s)
For our demonstration, we will create a model of the Hindenburg.
