2 Lesson 1: Oxidation States Oxidation numbers are very important in this chapter Redox Reactions. Without the complete understanding of how to assign these numbers, we cannot move ahead with this chapter. They are much like ionic charges, except the every element will be assigned a number. The most important rules that cannot be broken are: Free elements are zero Group 1 is +1 Group 2 is +2 Fluorine is -1 The sum of oxidation states in a compound is 0. The sum of oxidation states in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of that ion. Assign oxidation numbers to each element in the following (use the Periodic Table to help you) (a) NaCl Na Cl (b) H 2 S H S (c) H 2 O H O (d) CO 2 C O (e) H 2 SO 4 H S O (f) FeCO 3 Fe C O (g) AgI Ag I (h) H 2 H (i) PbCl 2 Pb Cl (j) BaCO 3 Ba C O (k) Fe 2 O 3 Fe O (l) I 2 I (m) BeO Be O (n) CaF 2 Ca F (o) FeCl 3 Fe Cl (p) PF 5 P F (q) H 3 PO 4 H P O (r) KCl K Cl (s) K 2 O K O (t) O 3 O (u) LiH Li H (v) HBr H Br (w) Li + Li 3- (x) PO 4 P O What is the oxidation number of each element in the following reactions: 1. AgNO 3 + FeCl 3 AgCl + Fe(NO 3 ) 3 2. MgSO 4 + Ca(OH) 2 Mg(OH) 2 + CaSO 4 3. FeBr 2 + Br 2 FeBr 3 2

3 Lesson 2: Identifying a Redox Reaction A redox reaction is a reaction in which electrons are transferred from one element to another. The reaction involves at least two elements, one that will give up an electron, and one that will receive that electron. The term redox comes from two words, oxidation and reduction. If something is oxidized, it burns in oxygen, as shown below: Mg + O Mg +2 + O -2 Write out the Lewis dot diagrams for each species above. As you can see, Mg is being oxidized as it loses its two valence electrons, while oxygen gains two. LEO = GER = Indicate which element is being oxidized, and which is being reduced. 1. Cr 3+ + Fe 2+ Cr 2+ + Fe F 2 + O 2- F 1- + O 2 3. Sn + N 5+ Sn 4+ + N NaCl Na + + Cl - 5. Cu 2 O Cu + O 2 6. Cl 2 + KBr KCl + Br 2 7. CH 4 + O 2 CO 2 + H 2 O 8. H 3 PO 4 + Ca(OH) 2 Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + H 2 O Oxidized Reduced 3

4 Redox reactions are usually synthesis reactions, decomposition, combustion or single replacement reactions. Double replacement and neutralization reactions are NOT redox reactions. Usually they are easy to spot because if an element goes from being free (with an oxidation number of 0) to being in a compound (with a new oxidation number) it shows there was an exchange of electrons. In the following examples, identify what type of reaction they are and then state if they are redox reactions. 1. N 2 + O 2 2NO 2. Cl 2 + 2NaBr NaCl + Br NaOH + HCl H 2 O + NaCl Determine if the following reactions are REDOX reactions. Then determine which species is oxidized and which is reduced. 1) NaOH + HCl NaCl + H 2 O 2) N 2 + 3H 2 2NH 3 3) NaCl + AgNO 3 NaNO 3 + AgCl 4) Zn + CuSO 4 ZnSO 4 + Cu 5) 2KCl + Br 2 2KBr + Cl 2 6) 2H 2 + O 2 2H 2 O 7) Ba(OH) 2 + H 2 SO 4 BaSO 4 + 2H 2 O 8) 2Mg + O 2 2MgO 9) 2AgNO 3 + CuSO 4 Ag 2 SO 4 + Cu(NO 3 ) 2 What type of reaction (S, D, C, SR, or DR) is NEVER redox? 4

5 Spontaneous Reactions and Activity Series Use Table J to help you with the following questions. 1. Write the oxidation and reduction half reaction for: Ca + Cu 2+ Ca 2+ + Cu 2.

6 Lesson 3: Half Reactions A half reaction shows either the oxidation or reduction portion of a redox equation including if the electrons are gained or lost. A reduction half reaction shows an atom or ion gaining one of more e - : Fe e - Fe Notice that the e - is one the left. An oxidation half reaction shows an atom or ion losing one or more e-: Mg Mg e - Notice that the e - is one the right. In a half reaction, only on element is shown and the charges must be conserved. To write a half reaction, first assign all the oxidation numbers to all the elements. Second, cross out any elements that are spectators (they do not change oxidation number). Then, write a half reaction showing a change in oxidation state and label which element is being oxidized and which is being reduced. Last, add in the number of electrons needed to conserve the charge. 1. Cr 3+ + Fe 2+ Cr 2+ + Fe F 2 + O 2- F 1- + O 2 3. Sn + N 5+ Sn 4+ + N NaCl Na + + Cl - For each reaction, decide if it is redox.
