Chapter 19 Oxidation-Reduction Reactions Pg. 595 Oxidation- valence electrons are lost Reduction- valence electrons are gained Rules for determining the oxidation number of an element (pg. 595) Practice assigning Oxidation numbers (pg. 612 #7 a-j) (pg.612 #6)
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction Also called-Redox Transfer of electrons One cannot happen without the other. O xidation R eduction I s I s L osing G aining Oxidation #increases Oxidation # decreases
Remember:Oil Rig Determine Oxidation or Reduction (pg. 612 #4) Pg. 599 #3 a. is an example. Try b-e on your own for practice. Practice Pg. 605 #1 Pg. 612 #2 a-i,3,5 a-c,17 a-e,18
Hon Chem Ch 20 Pg 655 Electrochemical Cells AKA batteries Pg 643 Zn is good reducing agent (gets oxidized, loses electrons, ox# goes up) Cu is good oxidizing agent (gets reduced, gains electrons, ox# goes down)
Parts and Types of Batteries Pg Zinc-Carbon Dry Cell a. big, used in flashlights, C and D batteries b. Zn container – anode, negative, becomes + as loses electron c. C rod in center – cathode, + bump on end of battery, becomes negative as gains electrons
2. Alkaline Batteries a. smaller, AA and AAA, cameras, remotes b. Zn and KOH instead of Zn and C 3.Hg Batteries a. tiny, hearing aids, watches b. Zn, KOH, Steel, HgO
Corrosion and Prevention Pg Fe is oxidized, loses electrons, forms rust Salt and acid speed up the oxidation Zn coating prevents oxidation due to Pg 643, called galvanizing Electric potential difference = volts (how hard electricity pushes thru wire)
Recharging Batteries Pg Voltaic cell – battery making electricity, anode gives electrons to cathode Electrolytic cell – battery when being recharged, storing electricity, direct current source forces cathode to give electrons back to anode DC sources - wall charger with diode to change AC to DC, car alternator, other battery (jumping a car) Can be recharged as long as enough products to act as reactants to reverse reaction, corrosion is loss of products/reactants so can’t recharge after corroded Pg 669**do redox rxn for car battery
