Let’s determine oxidation numbers for each…. +1 -1 -2 -3 Ammonium NH4+ Chlorate ClO3- Sulfate SO42- Phosphate PO43- Chlorite ClO2- Sulfite SO32- Phosphite PO43- Nitrate NO3- Carbonate CO32- Nitrite NO2Hydroxide OH- Practice Assigning Oxidation Numbers NO2 N2O5 HClO3 HNO3 Ca(NO3)2 K2CO3 Practice Assigning Oxidation Numbers NO2 N= +4, O = -2 N2O5 N = +5, O = -2 HClO3 H=+1, Cl=+5, O = -2 HNO3 H=+1, N = +5, O = -2 Ca(NO3)2 Ca=+2, N =+5, O= -2 K2CO3 K=+1, C=+4, O= -2 Hint: If it includes a polyatomic ion, you know the overall charge, and oxygen will always be -2, find the other oxidation states next Practice Assigning Oxidation Numbers Fe(OH)3 K3PO3 CO32(NH4)Cl Fe(ClO2)2 Practice Assigning Oxidation Numbers Fe(OH)3 Fe =+3, O=-2, H=+1 K3PO3 K=+1, P=+3, O=-2 CO32- C=+4, O =-2 (NH4)Cl N=3-, H=1+, Cl=-1 Fe(ClO2)2 Fe=+2, Cl=3+, O=-2 Redox Equations NOTE: If you get there! Brakke students will need to identify which element is oxidized and which is reduced for a 7 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions All redox reactions have at least one element oxidized and at least one element reduced Occasionally the same element may undergo both oxidation and reduction. This is known as an auto-oxidation reduction We will NOT see this until IB CHEM Pneumonic Devices…. There are two phrases to help you remember the general practice of oxidation and reduction exchanges LEO says GER OIL RIG LEO says….. GER! LEO: Loss of Electrons = Oxidation GER: Gain of Electrons = Reduction OIL: Oxidation is Loss…. RIG: Reduction is Gain…. ….of electrons Oxidation Numbers Oxidation is the loss of electrons; Reduction is the gain of electrons Oxidation and reduction go together. Whenever a substance loses electrons another substance gains electrons Oxidation Numbers are a system that we can use to keep track of electron transfers with a reaction Using Oxidation Numbers Careful examination of the oxidation numbers of atoms in an equation allows us to determine what is oxidized and what is reduced in an oxidation-reduction reaction Using Oxidation Numbers An increase in the oxidation number indicates that an atom has lost electrons and therefore oxidized. A decrease in the oxidation number indicates that an atom has gained electrons and therefore reduced Example 0 Zn + +2 +6 -2 +2 +6 -2 CuSO4 ZnSO4 + Zn: 0 + 2 Oxidized Cu: +2 0 Reduced 0 Cu Exercise For each of the following reactions find the element oxidized and the element reduced Cl2 Cu + KBr KCl + Br2 + HNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + NO2 + H2O HNO3 + I2 Look HIO3 + on the following slides for answers…… NO2 Exercise 1 For each of the following reactions find the element oxidized and the element reduced 0 Cl2 +1 -1 + KBr +1 -1 KCl + 0 Br2 Br increases from –1 to 0 Oxidized Cl decreases from 0 to –1 Reduced K remains unchanged at +1 Exercise 2 For each of the following reactions find the element oxidized and the element reduced 0 Cu +1 +5 -2 +2 +5 -2 +4 –2 +1 -2 + HNO3 Cu(NO3)2 + NO2 + H2O Cu increases from 0 to +2 Oxidized Some N in nitric acid from +5 to +4 Reduced The nitrogen that ends up in copper nitrate remains unchanged, same for hydrogen and oxygen Exercise 3 For each of the following reactions find the element oxidized and the element reduced 1 +5 -2 0 HNO3 + I2 +1 +5 -2 HIO3 +4 -2 + NO2 N is reduced from +5 to +4 Reduced I is increased from 0 to +5 Oxidized The hydrogen and oxygen remain unchanged.
