1 Section Reduction (Redox) Reactions Reduction (Redox) Reactions Electrochemistry is driven by electron transfer In the early development of chemical knowledge, an important application was the refinement of pure metals such as iron, copper, aluminum and tin. These elements exist naturally as mineral compounds such as aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ). Early chemists talked about reducing compounds into pure metals long before people understood the chemistry of what was happening. Today we know that reducing aluminum oxide to elemental aluminum and oxygen involves transferring electrons from oxygen to aluminum. The atoms that lose electrons are oxidized and the atoms that gain electrons are reduced. For example, Al 3+ gains 3 electrons and is reduced to aluminum metal. Oxygen gains the electrons and O 2- becomes oxidized to molecular oxygen. : Loss of electrons. Element charge becomes more positive Reduction: Gain of electrons. Element charge becomes more negative redox=short for reductionoxidation -Reduction reactions or redox reactions are among the most common and most important chemical reactions in everyday life. These reactions always happen in pairs. does not happen without reduction and reduction does not happen without oxidation. The process of oxidation-reduction together with the concept of charge conservation are the foundation of electrochemistry. Even though we can t easily observe the actual transfer of electrons, we can easily see the results. If you dip a zinc (Zn) nail into a solution of copper sulfate (CuSO 4 ) the nail becomes covered with a brownish coating of copper metal. The CuSO 4 solution contains Cu 2+ and SO 2-4 ions. The copper ions are reduced to pure copper metal by electrons coming from the zinc. The zinc is oxidized by losing the electrons to become Zn 2+ ions in the solution. The chemical equation that describes the complete reaction is Zn(s) + CuSO 4 (aq) ZnSO 4 (aq) + Cu(s) oxidation - loss of electrons. Element charge increases. reduction - gain of electrons. Element charge decreases. redox - abbreviation for oxidation reduction. 478 A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY

2 Numbers Familiar reactions may be redox reactions How to determine if a reaction is redox number Chemical processes such as the burning natural gas (CH 4 ) and the rusting of iron (Fe) are very familiar. The chemical equations for these reactions are: 4Fe(s) + 3O 2 (g) 2Fe 2 O 3 (s) CH 4 (g) + 2O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2H 2 O(g) Rusting of iron Burning of methane How can we determine if these are redox reactions? Which elements are oxidized and which are reduced? In order to determine if a reaction is redox we must find out if there is electron loss and gain that takes place among the elements involved in the reaction. If we find that there are some elements that lose electrons and some other elements that gain electrons then we have the answer. The elements that lose electrons are oxidized, the elements that gain electrons are reduced and the overall process is a redox reaction. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) provides a good example that is easier to analyze. Hydrogen and chlorine combine to form HCl by sharing a pair of electrons. One of these electrons comes from H and the other from Cl and they form a polar covalent bond. Since Chlorine is more electronegative than hydrogen, the shared electrons stay closer to Cl than to H. As a result it appears that chlorine has gained an electron and hydrogen has lost an electron. This apparent gain of an electron by the chlorine atom is indicated by an oxidation number of -1 which means that Cl is reduced. The oxidation number is the effective unit charge an atom in a compound would have if the electron were completely transferred to the more Electrons spend more time closer to Cl Cl appears to have gained electrons electronegative atom. In this case, chlorine is more electronegative atom, and if it takes the electron from hydrogen, its charge is -1. Therefore its oxidation number in the compound HCl is also -1. In this reaction chlorine is reduced since it gains an electron and its oxidation number becomes lower (more negative). Since HCl is neutral overall, the corresponding oxidation number of hydrogen should be +1. Hydrogen is oxidized since it loses an electron and its oxidation number increases (more positive). negative Cl H positive H appears to have lost electrons oxidation number - gives the number of electrons that an element has lost or gained in forming a chemical bond with another element. A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY 479

3 Section Reduction (Redox) Reactions. Rules for assigning oxidation numbers number and ionic charge Rules for assigning oxidation numbers The oxidation number is different from the real charge of the atom. The assignment of electrons to the atoms and the associated oxidation number is just a way to account for the electrons that are associated with the atoms. The oxidation number is written with a sign followed with the number like -1, +1,-3, 0, etc. This is different than the way we write the ionic charge for which the sign follows the number like 1-, 2-, 3+, etc. ionic charge is denoted oxidation number is denoted By looking at the properties of atoms and the way that they bond with other atoms to form various compounds, scientists have come up with a set of rules that assign an oxidation number to each atom in a compound. These rules are explicit representations of the Lewis formulation and give us the number of electrons - the oxidation number - that is assigned to each atom in a compound 2 - sign follows the number - 2 number follows the sign TABLE Rules for assigning oxidation numbers 1. The oxidation number of an atom in a pure element is 0. For example, the oxidation number of chlorine in Cl 2 or O in O 2 is 0 2. The sum of the oxidation numbers of atoms in a neutral molecule is zero. For example the sum of the oxidation numbers of C and O in CO 2 is 0 number of carbon (n C ) plus two times the oxidation number of oxygen = 0: n C + 2n O = 0 3. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion is equal to the charge of the ion. For example, the oxidation number of Cu in Cu 2+ is +2. For SO 2-4, the oxidation number of S (n S ) plus 4 times the oxidation number of O (n O ) = -2: n S + 4n O = Metals have positive oxidation number according to their group Group 1A metals (Na, K, Li) have oxidation number +1 Group 2A metals (Mg, Ca) have oxidation number The oxidation number of non-metals are as follows: Fluorine (F): -1 Hydrogen (H): +1 except in hydrides such as LiH and NaH in which the oxidation number is -1. Oxygen (O): -2 Group 7A (Cl, Br, I) : -1 Group 6A (S, Se, Te) : -2 Group 5A (N, P, As): A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY

4 Application of Number Rules rules must be applied in order The oxidation number rules apply in the order they appear on the list. If there is a conflict, the rule that is higher in the list has priority. For example, consider potassium peroxide (K 2 O 2 ). From Rule 4 we see that K has oxidation number +1 and Rule 5 tells us that oxygen has oxidation number -2. Obviously there is a conflict since Rule 2 which keeps track of the overall charge balance is violated. To solve this problem we must give priority to the order that the rules appear. Here are the steps to calculate the oxidation numbers of potassium and oxygen in K 2 O 2. TABLE Step1 Step2 Step3 From Rule 4 we know that Solving the equation the oxidation number of 2(n potassium is +1 (n K = +1). K ) + 2(n O ) = 0 Since Rule 4 has priority we obtain n O = -1 over Rule 5, the oxidation and we are done. number for O (n O ) is still unknown. In K 2 O 2 : From Rule 2 we know that the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in K 2 O 2 must ne zero: If the oxidation number for potassium is n K and the oxidation number for oxygen is n O then 2(n K ) + 2(n O ) = 0 But now we have an equation that we can use to solve for it. 2(n K ) + 2(n O ) = 0 the oxidation number of potassium (K) is +1 the oxidation number of oxygen (O) is -1 The oxidation number of elements in a compound can be found by following these steps. Find the oxidation number for each element in carbon monoxide (CO) Asked: Find the oxidation number of O and C in CO. Relationships: The rules for assigning oxidation numbers Solve: The solution procedure is as follows: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral compound Sum of oxidation numbers of C and O must add to zero (rule 2) The oxidation number of oxygen = -2 (rule 5). The oxidation number of carbon (n C ) =? n C + (-2) = 0 which gives n C = +2 Answer: The oxidation number for carbon in carbon monoxide (CO) is +2 The oxidation number of oxygen in carbon monoxide is -2 A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY 481

5 Section Reduction (Redox) Reactions. Finding oxidation numbers The same element can have different oxidation numbers The oxidation number is a way to keep track of the electrons associated with each atom in a compound. The oxidation number of the same element may be different from one compound to the other. For example, in carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) the oxidation number of oxygen is -2. In Potassium peroxide (K 2 O 2 ) the oxidation number of oxygen is -1. Find the oxidation number for each element in carbon monoxide (CO 2 ) Asked: Find the oxidation number of O and C in CO 2. Relationships: The rules for assigning oxidation numbers Solve: The solution procedure is as follows: Since carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is a neutral compound the sum of oxidation numbers of C and O 2 must add to zero (rule 2) The oxidation number of O is -2 (rule 5) The oxidation number of O 2 is 2(-2) = -4 The oxidation number of carbon (n C ) =? n C + 2(-2) = 0 which gives n C = +4 Answer: The oxidation number for carbon in CO 2 is +4 and for oxygen is -2 Find the oxidation number for each element in the nitrite ion NO 2 -. Asked: Find the oxidation number of an ion with overall charge of -1. Given: The elemental arrangement of the ion. Relationships: The rules for assigning oxidation numbers Solve: Nitrite (NO - 2 ) is an ion with a charge of -1 and so the oxidation numbers of the elements must add up to -1. The sum of the oxidation numbers of N and O 2 must add to -1. (rule 2) The oxidation number of oxygen is -2 (rule 5) The oxidation number of nitrogen n N =?. n N + 2(-2) = -1 which gives n N = +3 Answer: The oxidation number of oxygen in NO - 2 is -2. The oxidation number of nitrogen in NO - 2 is (-2) = A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY

6 Fractional oxidation numbers numbers may also be fractions The oxidation number of an atom in a substances is usually a whole number such as +1, - 1, +2, -2 etc. However it is also possible for the oxidation number of atoms to be fractions such as +1/2, -1/2, -2/3 etc. This is often the case for the oxidation number of carbon in various compounds with hydrogen (hydrocarbons). Let s consider methane (C 3 H 8 ) and go through the various steps for calculating the oxidation numbers of C and H in this molecule. TABLE Step1 Step2 Step3 From rule 5 we know that the oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 (n H = +1). From rule 2 we know the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in C 3 H 8 must be zero: If the oxidation number for carbon is n C and the oxidation number for hydrogen is n H then the equation that relates these oxidation numbers is 3(n C ) + 8( n H ) = 0 The oxidation number for C (n C ) is still unknown but now we have an equation that we can solve for it. 3(n C ) + 8(+1)= 0 Solving the equation 3(n C ) + 8(+1) = 0 we obtain n C = -8/3 So we see that the oxidation number can be a fraction Check the answer by verifying that the sum of oxidation numbers is zero. 3(-8/3) + 8 = 0 Find the oxidation number for each element in the compound C 3 H 4. Asked: Find the oxidation number of each element in methylacetylyne (C 3 H 4 ) Relationships: The rules for assigning oxidation numbers Solve: C 3 H 4 is a neutral compound: The sum of the oxidation numbers of H 4 and C 3 must add to zero. (rule 2) The oxidation number of hydrogen (n H ) is +1. n H = +1 (rule 5) The oxidation number of carbon n C =?. 3(n C )+ 4(+1) = 0 which gives n C = -4/3 Answer: The oxidation number of C in C 3 H 4 is -4/3. The oxidation number of H in C 3 H 4 is +1. A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY 483

7 Section Reduction (Redox) Reactions. Identifying redox reactions oxidation numbers in redox reactions Determining the oxidation numbers is the first step to identifying a redox reaction. The next step is to see if the oxidation numbers for any elements have changed in the reaction. If we find that any oxidation numbers have changed from the left side (reactants) to the right side (products) then we know that we have a redox reaction. If the oxidation numbers of the elements in the reactants and the products do not change the reaction is not redox. The best way to learn this is with an example. Find the element that is oxidized and the element that is reduced in the reaction of iron with oxygen resulting in rust (iron oxide Fe 2 O 3 ). Asked: Given: 4Fe(s) + 3O 2 (g) 2Fe 2 O 3 (s). Find the element that is oxidized and the element that is reduced The balanced chemical reaction of Fe and O 2 and the rules for assigning oxidation numbers. Relationships: The rules for assigning oxidation numbers to each element in compounds. Solve: We look at both the left and right sides of the reaction: Let s start with the reactants. Since both Fe and O 2 are free elements the oxidation number of the Fe and O atoms on the left side of the equation is zero. Next let s look at the product (Fe 2 O 3 ) of the reaction. The sum of the oxidation numbers in Fe 2 O 3 must add to zero. The oxidation number of oxygen is -2. Now if we add the oxidation number of oxygen and the unknown oxidation number of iron (n Fe ) we have the equation: 2(n Fe ) + 3(-2) = 0 Solving this equation for n Fe we find that the oxidation number of iron in Fe 2 O 3 is +3. Answer: The oxidation number of Fe has increased; it went from 0 to +3. Iron has lost electrons and so it is oxidized. The oxidation number of oxygen has decreased, it went from 0 to -2. Oxygen has gained electrons and it is reduced. 3O 2( g) + 4Fe( s) 2Fe2O 3( s) Reduction oxidation numbers 484 A NATURAL APPROACH TO CHEMISTRY

8 Analyzing a redox reaction Oxidized - oxidation number increases (lose electrons) Reduced - oxidation number decreases (gain electrons) Charge balance is maintained Oxidizing agent Reducing agent The number of electrons that are received by the reduced element is equal to the number of electrons that have been given up by the oxidized element. The total number of electrons does not change overall charge neutrality must be maintained. In the iron - oxygen reaction we saw that the iron is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. We can also say that iron is oxidized by oxygen which is another way of saying that oxygen facilitates the oxidation of iron. We may also say that oxygen is reduced by iron oxygen is reduced and iron facilitates this reduction. The element that oxidizes another element is called the oxidizing agent. In our example oxygen is the oxidizing agent. The element that reduces another element is called the reducing agent. In our example iron is the reducing agent. In the reaction 4Fe(s) + 3O 2 (g) 2Fe 2 O 3 (s): Fe is oxidized Fe is the reducing agent Reduction reaction Oxidized Iron (Fe) Reducing agent Reduced Oxygen (O) Oxidizing agent O is reduced O is the oxidizing agent reaction 4Fe( s) + 3O ( g) 2Fe O ( s) Find the reducing and the oxidizing agents in: 2Mg(s) + O 2 (g) 2MgO(s). Relationships: The rules for assigning oxidation numbers and the chemical reaction Solve: O 2( g) + 2Mg( s) 2Mg O( s) oxidation numbers Reduction The oxidation number of oxygen decreases from 0 to -2 so oxygen is reduced. Therefore, oxygen is the oxidizing agent. The oxidation number of magnesium increases from 0 to +2 so magnesium is oxidized. Therefore, magnesium is the reducing agent. oxidizing agent - the element that oxidizes another element. reducing agent - the element that reduces another element.
