23
Q

4 types of doing redox reactions

A
  • oxygen transfer
  • hydrogen transfer
  • electrons transfer
  • oxidation state
24
Q

explanation for oxidation in oxygen transfer

CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O

A

CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O
= hydrogen has become oxidised
= it gained oxygen to become water
= copper (ll) oxide is the oxidising agent

25
Q

explanation for oxidation hydrogen transfer

2HCl + F2 = 2HF + Cl2

A

2HCl + F2 = 2HF + Cl2
= hydrochloric acid has become oxidised
= it lost hydrogen to become chlorine gas
= fluorine is the oxidising agent

26
Q

explanation for oxidation electrons transfer

Zn + Cu2+ = Zn2+ + Cu

A

Zn + Cu2+ = Zn2+ + Cu
= zinc metal has been oxidised
= it lost two electrons to become Zinc ion
= copper ion is the oxidising agent

27
Q

explanation for oxidation oxidation state

K + NaCl = KCl + Na

A

K + NaCl = KCl + Na
= potassium has been oxidised
= its oxidation state increased from o in K to +1 in KCl
= sodium chloride is the oxidising agent

28
Q

explanation for reduction in oxygen transfer

CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O

A

CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O
= copper (ll) oxide has been reduced
= it lost oxygen to become copper metal
= hydrogen is the reducing agent

29
Q

explanation for reduction hydrogen transfer

2HCl + F2 = 2HF + Cl2

A

2HCl + F2 = 2HF + Cl2
= fluorine has been reduced
= it gained hydrogen to become hydrogen fluoride
= hydrochloric acid is the reducing agent

30
Q

explanation for reduction electrons transfer

Zn + Cu2+ = Zn2+ + Cu

A

Zn + Cu2+ = Zn2+ + Cu
= copper ion has been reduced
= it gained 2 electrons to become copper metal
= Zn is the reducing agent

31
Q

explanation for reduction oxidation

K + NaCl = KCl + Na

A

K + NaCl = KCl + Na
= Sodium chloride is being reduced
= its Oxidising agent decreased from +1 in NaCl to 0 in Na
= potassium is the reducing agent

32
Q

theory : how to test for reducing agent like SO2

A

use acidifies potassium manganate (Vll), place on a filter paper and if gas evolved turns purple potassium manganate (Vll) colourless, gas is sulfur dioxide

33
Q

theory : how do you test for oxidising agent like F2

A

use aqueous potassium iodide and bubble gas evolved through KI if it turns colourless potassium iodide brown, the gas is a halogen

34
Q

theory : explain how potassium iodide can be used to test for an oxidising agent

A

When colourless aqueous potassium iodide is added to added to an oxidising agent, it turns brown due to iodine solution produced
