ELECTROCHEMISTRY
2
What is Electrochemistry? NaCl + AgBr Na + CaCl 2 In which reaction to do elements change charges? How could this happen? Rxn 2 electrons transfer from 1 element to another
3
What is Electrochemistry? Branch of chemistry that deals with electricity- related applications of oxidation-reduction reactions (REDOX reactions) REDOX (Reduction-Oxidation Reactions): reactions in which elements undergo changes in oxidation number as a result of electron transfer
4
Definitions What is Reduction? When an atom or ion GAINS one or more electrons Na + + 1e - Na The charge of this atom/ion will be reduced This atom/ion also called the oxidizing agent
5
Definitions What is Oxidation? When an atom or ion LOSES one or more electrons Cu Cu 2+ + 2 e - The charge of this atom/ion will increase This atom/ion also called the reducing agent

7
Identify oxidation and reduction Must assign oxidation numbers. Always assign the most electronegative element first, with its typical charge. Pure elements have an oxidation number of zero. Fe 2 O 3 + CO Fe + CO2

Identify oxidation and reduction CO + I 2 O 5 CO 2 + I 2 Reduced: ____________Oxidized: _____________ H 2 + O 2 H 2 O Reduced: ___________ Oxidized: ____________ Al + Fe 2 O 3 Al 2 O 3 + Fe Reduced: ___________ Oxidized: ____________
9
Identify oxidation and reduction S 8 + NO 3 ¯ SO 3 2- + NO Reduced: ________ Oxidized: __________ Mn 2+ + BiO 3 ¯ Bi 3+ + MnO 4 ¯ Reduced: _________ Oxidized: ____________
