test 3. redox, grp 2 and grp 7 Flashcards
what is the oxidation state of an element?
0
oxidation state of group 1
+1
oxidation state of group 2
+2
oxidation state of oxygen
-2
oxidation state of oxygen in F20 and Peroxides
F2O= +2
Peroxides = -1
oxidation state of hydrogen
+1
oxidation state of hydrogen in METAL hydroxides
-1
oxidation state of flourine
-1
oxidation state of group 7
-1
oxidation in terms of electrons
loss of electrons
reduction in terms of electrons
gain of electrons
oxidation in terms of oxidation state
increase in oxidation state
e.g (0 to +2)
reduction in terms of oxidation state
reduction in oxidation state (0 to -2)
a general equation for a typical redox reaction
metal+ acid -> salt+ hydrogen
what is calcium hydroxide
lime water
hydroxide general equation
oxide(s) + water(l) → hydroxide(aq)
what causes an increase in ph (not spec friendly)
more hydroxide ions, OH–, dissociate into a solution cause the pH to increase
