REDOX • Have you ever heard about oxidation? • Where? When? • When the iron goes rusty? • In a combustion? • When we breathe?
REDOX • Fe + 1/2 O2 FeO • Fe + HCl FeCl2 • Do you see similarities in these two reactions? • In which valence acts the iron, before and after? • The first one is an oxidation, and the second one?
REDOX • In the reaction with oxygen the Fe converts in Fe2+. • In the second reaction the Fe converts also in Fe2+. • In both cases Fe has been oxidised. • In both cases Fe has lost electrons.
REDOX • CONCEPTS • OXIDATION REDUCTION • Gain of OxigenLoss of Oxigen • Loss of Hydrogen Gain of Hydrogen • Loss of electrons Gain of electrons • Increase in Decrease in oxidation state oxidation state
Oxidation state (number)Rules • Monoatomic ions: its charge • Uncombined elements: 0 • Oxigen: -2 excep in peroxides –1 • Hydrogen: +1 excep in hidrides –1 • Group I ions: +1 (Na+) • Group II ions: +2 (Mg2+) • Group III ions: +3 (Al3+) • Group VI ions: -2 (O2-, S2-,) • Group VII ions: -1 (F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, )
REDOX RULES • 1. The oxidation level of an atom is 0 when the atom is in its elemental form: • Li, C, Na, Mg, etc. • H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, etc. • 2. In ionic compounds, the oxidation state of an atom is the same as its charge: • NaCl = Na+1 + Cl-1, MgO = Mg+2 + O-2 • 3. The sum of the oxidation levels of all the atoms in a compound must equal 0. • AlCl3 = Al+3 + 3Cl-1
REDOX RULES (cont) • 4. In covalent compounds, the oxidation level of H is +1, O is -2, F is -1. • 5. Rules 3 and 4 allow the calculation of the oxidation levels of other atoms in a molecule: • HNO3 1-H atom = +1, 3-O atoms = 3(-2) = -6 • (+1) + (-6) = -5; N = +5 • What is the oxidation level of the P atom in H3PO4, in PH3? • What is the oxidation level of S in SO2, in SF6?
OTHER CONCEPTS • oxidizing agent • it becomes reduced • its oxidation state decreases • reducing agent • it becomes oxidized • its oxidation state increases • spectator ion • don’t change its oxidation state
SUMMARY • Something is oxidized if • It gains oxygen • It loses electrons • Its oxidation state increases • Something is reduced if • It loses oxygen • It gains electrons • Its oxidation state decreases
EXERCICES • Insert electrons (e-) on the appropiate side of the following half-equations in order to balance and complete them, so that the electrical charges on both sides are equal K K+ H2 2 H+ O O2- Cu+ Cu2+ Cr3+ Cr2+
EXERCICES • In each case state which element is oxidised or reduced, and give the oxidation states before and after the reaction Cl2 + 2 Br- 2 Cl- + Br2 2Fe + 3Cl2 2FeCl3 H2 + Cl2 2HCl 2FeCl2 + Cl2 2FeCl3 2 H2O + 2 F2 4HF + O2
EXERCICES • Indicate whether each element has been oxidised, reduced, both, or has remained unchanged. Cu2O + 2H+ Cu2+ + Cu + H2O 3Br2 + 6OH- BrO3- + 5Br- + 3H2O 4IO3- 3IO4- + I-
BALANCE THE EQUATION • BrO3- + Fe2+ Br- + Fe3+ • State the oxidations states • Write the half-reactions • Balance the number of atoms ox/red • Balance O with H2O • Balance H with H+ • Balance the charge with electrons (e-)
BALANCING REDOX • Make the number of electrons in both half-equations equal • Sum the half-equations • Transform to molecular compounds
