Redox and Electrochemistry Flashcards
REDOX reactions abbreviation
LEORA
GEROA
in Oxidation reactions, where are the electrons?
in Reduction, where?
OHR: e- is in products side
RHR: e- is in reactants side
9 general rules for oxidation number
- 0 charge for elements
- ion charge for monoatomic ion
- in a molecule, sum of O.N. values is 0
- in polyatomic ion, sum of O.N. values is ion charge
- Group 1 = +1
- Group 2 = +2
- Group 17 = -1 w metals
- Hydrogen
+ 1 w nonmetals
-1 w metals - Oxygen
-2 most of the time
-1 in peroxides
-1/2 in superoxide
Reducing Agent vs Oxidizing Agent
RA undergoes oxidation reaction
OA undergoes reduction reaction
Clues to use in identifying the ff:
- peroxides
- superoxides
PEROXIDES
- O2 with another element except GROUP 1
- O2 with GROUP 1 subscript 2 (Li2O2 ; H2O2 ; Na2O2)
SUPEROXIDES
- O2 with GROUP 1 (NaO2 ; RbO2 ; KO2)
Are coefficients included when agents are assigned?
No… only the main molecule/element
What are 3 rules when balancing chemical reactions using CON method
- Bawal galawin si OA and RA after balancing the reactants side
- Adjust the rest of the reactions accordingly
- Check if coefficients are simplifiable
2 types of redox reactions
- Disproportional
- Comproportional
TYPES OF REDOX REACTIONS
a species (only 1) is simultaneously reduced and oxidized
Disproportional
TYPES OF REDOX REACTIONS
2 reactants (w same element but diff ON) form a product with its ON a value between the reactants
Comproportional
2 TYPES OF ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS
- produces… through…
- spontaneous or non spontaneous
- energy requiring or not
- system or surroundings does work?
VOLTAIC (Galvanic Cell)
- produces electricity through chemical reaction
- spontaneous
- does not need energy
- system does work on surroundings
Electrolytic Cell
- produces chemical reaction through electricity
- non - spontaneous
- needs energy
- surroundings does work on system
7 components of a voltaic cell
Anode (s)| Reducing Agent (aq) || Oxidizing Agent (aq) | Cathode (s)
|| - Salt bridge (neutralizes the 2 solutions)
… | …. Phase boundaries
, - Same phases
- Phase boundaries
Anode vs Cathode
Anode - gives e-
Cathode - receives e-
How to create the Net Cell Reaction from OHR and RHR
Cancel the e- and combine reactants & products
Standard value for voltmeter
1.10 V
