Redox Reaction Flashcards
Reactions that involve transfer of electrons
Redox Reactions
A reaction which occurs between a reducing and
oxidizing agent
Redox Reactions
An increase in oxidation number of an atom signifies?
Oxidation from +2 to +4
A decrease in oxidation number of an atom signifies?
Reduction from 0 to -1
Oxidation and reduction always occur together in a chemical reaction
redox reactions
Very Strong OA na Self-indication and widely used
KMnO4
Slightly weaker OA, available as primary standard, and stable
K2Cr2O7
Powerful OA, Highly affected by acid used, Very unstable, very expensive
Ce(SO4)2
weaker OA, Not suitable in water - KI
I2
Powerful OA in the presence of an acid, very sensitive, Methyl orange
KBrO3
used in the assay of I^-, As^3+, etc, reduction potential varies with Assay conditions, depends on the formation of ICl in highly acidic solutions
KIO3
Standardized using ascorbic acid, self-indicating
DCIP
Less common OA, very sensitive to light - requires standardization
