1ère – Physical and Chemical Sciences – The Oxidation and reduction reactions. (presented by Prof. Robert Burk – Carleton University - Ottawa) Oxidation of Copper : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oVJ5E8kdWs Reduction of Copper ion : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRw91oBy2xs 1) What kind of videos are these? 1st video : 2) What solution does Prof. Burk pour onto the penny ? 3) What are the reactants ? 4) In which state are the Copper and Nitrogen elements when the reaction starts? 5) What can be observed during the reaction ? 6) What are the products ? 7) In which state are the Copper and Nitrogen elements when the reaction is finished? 8) The Copper element is said to be oxidized from Copper metal Cu to Copper ion Cu+2. Define then what an oxidation is. 9) The Nitrate ion is reduced. Define then what a reduction is. 10) Write down the redox reaction equation and the 2 so-called half-equations. 11) What do the audience laugh at several times during the video? 2nd video : 12) What material is the nail made of ? 13) What is the blue solution ? 14) What can be observed ? 15) What are the reaction products? 16) Is the Copper element oxidized or reduced through this reaction? 17) Write down the 2 so-called half-equations and the redox reaction equation. 18) Conclude these 2 experiments.
