What is a redox reaction
Reduction and oxidation happening simultaneously
What is an oxidising agent
Accepts electrons amd gets reduced
What is a reducing agent
Donates electrons and gets oxidised
What can be combined to make a full redox equation
An oxidation half equation can be combinded with a reduction half equation
What needs to be the same for half equations can be combined
The electrons
What are the only things your allowed to add to half equations
Electrons
H+
Water
What is the oxidation of iron, half equation
Fe2+ to Fe3+
Fe2+ —-> Fe3+ + e-
What is the reduction of manganateequation
MnO4- +8H+ +e- —> Mn2+ 4H2O
What elements are good at changing oxidation statex
And so therefore are good at what
Transition elements
This makes them usefull oxidising and reducing agents - as they readily give out and receive electrons
What colour is MnO4-
Purple
What is the colour change + why
Acidified potassium manganite (vll) redox
Purple to colourless
As the (Mn(H2O)4) 2+ Is colourless
What is the colour change + why
Acidified potassium dichromate redox
Orange
(Cr(h2o)6)3+ is violet (but usually looks green)
So a colour change looks orange to green
Tritations using transition element ions are what
Redox tritations
How to carry out a redox reaction
(Of manganite (vlll) ions)
first you measure out a quantity of the reducing agent eg.
aqueous Fe2+ ions, using a pipette, and put it in a conical flask
2 You then add some dilute sulfuric acid to the flask
- this is an excess, so you don’t have to be too exact.
(This acid is added to make sure there are plenty of H+ ions to allow the oxidising agent to be reduced)
- Now you gradually add the aqueous MnO4- (the oxidising agent) to the
Reducing agent using a burette, swirling the conical flask as you do so.
You stop when the mixture in the flask just becomes tainted with the coloe
of the MnO4- and record the volume of the oxidising agent added
Run a few tritiations and then calculate the mean volume or MnO4-
T or f
In a redox tritiations
You add the known concentration to the substance of the unknown concentration
T
What can you do during a redox tritiations wot make the colour change Easier to spot
You could use a coloured reducing agent and a coloured oxidised agent - so you’d be looking for the moment the colour of the flask dissapears
Doing the reaction inffont of a white surface
Ensure you can do redox tritations calculations

What is the definition of rate of reaction
The change in conc of reactants ( or products ) per unit time
What are the units of rates of reaction
Mol dm -3 s -1
What is activation energy
The minimum amount of energy a particle needs in order to react
The energy ( enthalpy) difference between the reactants and the transition state
What does rate of reaction describe
How quickly reancys are used up or how quick products are formed
What 2 diff rates can we look at when looking at rate of reaction;
The average rate for the entire reaction
Or
The rate at a specific point ( instantaneous rate )
