Oxidation is ____ Reduction is ____
lost of electrons; gain of electrons
OILRIG
a ____ must always be accompanied by a reduction
oxidation
the number of electrons lost in the oxidation reduction reaction is equal to….
the number of electrons gained in the reduction reaction
in biological systems, the term oxidation describes….
the gain of oxygen or loss of hydrogen
in biological systems, the term reduction describes….
the loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen
a reaction in which electrons are lost from one reactant and gained by another reactant
oxidation-reduction reaction
1 mole = ? particles
Avogadro’s number or 6.02 x 10 to the 23rd power
REMINDER: the subscripts in the formula indicate the number of moles of each element in 1 mole of that compound. For example
1 mole of Mg3N2 = ? moles of Mg atoms
1 mole of Mg3N2 = ? moles of N atoms
3 moles of Mg atoms
2 moles of N atoms
The molar mass (g/mole) of an element is numerically equal to….
its atomic mass in grams
The molar mass (g/mole) of a compound is ….
the sum of the molar mass (grams) for each element multiplied by the subscript in the formula
We always round the molar mass to the…
hundredths place (0.01) or use at least 4 sig figs

the amount of products
the reactant that is used up is the
limiting reactant
the reactant that remains is the
excess reactant
the limiting reactant produces the….
smaller number of moles of product
