Oxidation- Reduction Reactions Flashcards
Oxidation-reduction/reactions/redox reactions (all the same)
Are when
Electrons are transferred from one reactant to the other
Redox reaction
Do electron transfers need to be a ________ transfer for the reaction to qualify as O-R?
Complete
And no
What happens when a hydrogen is bonded to a cholorine
There is an increase in electron density ( reduction) for chlorine
And
Decrease in electron density (oxidation) for hydrogen
O-R
How do you convert a free element into an ion?
The atom must either gain or loose an e-
(If one atom looses them the other must accept them
What is it called when there is a reaction where e- are transferred from one atom to another?
Redox reactions
Atoms that loose e- are being_____
While
Atoms that gain e- are_______
Oxidized
Reduced
Are oxidation states ion charges?
No
Oxidation states are imaginary charges assigned based on a set of rules
Ion charges are real, measurable charges
When there is a non metal + non metal or do not involve 02 chemists created an oxidation state
What does an oxidation state do?
Allows them to determine the electron flow in the reaction
Rules for assigning oxidation states:
1) free elements have an oxidation state = 0
- Na=0 Cl2=0 in 2Na(s)+Cl2 (g)
2) Monatomic ions have an oxidation state equal to their charge
- NaCl Na= +1 and Cl=-1
3) (a) the same of the oxidation states of all the atoms in a compound is 0
- Na= +1 and Cl= -1 in NaCl, (+1) + (-1) = 0
(B) Group II metals have an oxidation state of +2 in all of their compounds
- Mg= +2 in MgCl2
5). In their compounds, non mental have oxidation states according to the table below
Non metals higher on the table take priority
Oxidation nonmetal state
Fluorine Hydrogen Oxygen Group7a Group 6a Group 5a
Fluorine= -1 Hydrogen= +1 Oxygen= -2 Group 7a= -1 Group 6a= -2 Group 5a= -3
Identifying Redox Reactions:
What is oxidation
What is reduction
Increase in oxidation state
Decrease in oxidation state
Redox Reactions Summary:
Oxidation and reduction must occur___
The reactant that causes reduction in another reactant is called____
The reactant that causes oxidation in another reactant is called___
Simultaneously
Reducing agent ( the reducing agent contains the element that is oxidized)
Oxidation agent ( the oxidizing agent contains the element that is reduced)
Combustion Reactions:
______ are characterized by the ________ of a substance with _____to form one or more oxygen- containing compounds often________ _______
Combustion reactions
Reaction
02
Including water
( combustion reactions also emit heat)
