OBJECTIVES
 Determine how a change in oxidation numbers between
reactants and products constitute a redox reaction.
 Identify the substance(s) losing and gaining electrons in
oxidation-reduction reactions.
 Recognize that neutralization reactions do not involve
change in the elements’ oxidation numbers.(They are
not redox)
 Redox reactions in non Living systems.
o Differentiate between electrolytic and voltaic
(galvanic) cells
 Discuss redox processes in electrolytic cells (only
qualitative)
o Electrolysis of water
o Electrolysis of brine (concentrated NaCl solution)
o Electrolysis of Molten NaCl
o Purification of metals like Copper through electrolysis
 Discuss redox processes in Voltaic cells (only qualitative)
o Wet cell batteries
o Dry cell batteries
o Non rechargeable vs. rechargeable batteries.
 Redox reactions in living systems.
o Recognize photosynthesis and cellular respiration as
redox processes.
