Chapter 12 - Redox reactions Flashcards
define redox reaction
reaction where both oxidation and reduction takes place
define oxidising agent
assists other substances to oxidise
define reducing agent
assists other substances to reduce
table for OXIdation
OXYgen (+)
OXYdising agent (+)
hydrogen (-)
electrons (-)
common non redox reactions
- neutralisation
- decomposition
- double displacement
common redox reactions
- single displacement
- combustion
- synthesis
test for oxidising agent and observations
add aqueous potassium iodide
= potassium iodide turns from colourless to brown
test for reducing agent and observations
add acidified potassium manganate
= acidified potassium manganate turns from purple to colourless
examples of oxidising agents (4)
- acidified potassium manganate
- halogens
- oxygen
- acidified potassium dichromate
examples of reducing agents (5)
- aqueous potassium iodide
- carbon monoxide
- carbon
- group one metals and hydrogen - sulfur dioxide
examples of both oxidising and reducing agent
water and hydrogen peroxide
observation when oxidising agent is being reduced
acidified purple potassium manganate turns colourless
observation when reducing agent is being reduced
colourless potassium iodide turns brown
