Objectives 1.Students should be able to determine the oxidation states of elements alone or in a compound. 2.Students should be able to identify reactions that are Redox. 3.Students should be able to determine the species being oxidized and the species being reduced in a Redox reaction. 4.Students should be able to identify oxidizing agents and reducing agents in a reaction. 2

6 Recognizing Redox Reactions Not all reactions are Redox!! If any element’s oxidation state on the reactant side is different from the oxidation state on the product side, it is a redox rxn. Are these redox reactions? MnO 2 + 4HCl MnCl 2 + Cl 2 + 2H 2 O HCl + KOH H 2 O + KCl Zn + 2HCl ZnCl 2 + H 2 2HCl + FeS FeCl 2 + H 2 S HW: OB Pg. 162, Q 11-14; Pg. 169-170, Q 6,16-17

7 During Redox reactions, are electrons lost or gained? Loss of e - = Oxidation (LEO) = charge _____ Gain of e - = Reduction (GER) = charge _____ Na + Cl 2 NaCl Which one is being oxidized? ______ Which one is being reduced? ______ Redox = whenever an atom loses an electron, another atom has to gain it. So oxidation does not happen without reduction. The total charge of the products = the total charge of the reactants. LEO says GER!
8
8 Agents In a reaction the element that is oxidized is the reducing agent. oxidized = reducing agent The element that is reduced is the oxidizing agent. reduced = oxidizing agent
9
9 oxidized = reducing agent reduced = oxidizing agent HW: OB Pg. 162, Q 16-31
10
Exit Write a redox reaction that we learned about in the acid/base unit. What are the oxidation states of all of the species in your reaction? Which species was reduced? Which species was oxidized? Which species loses electrons? Which species gains electrons? Which species is the reducing agent and which species is the oxidizing agent? 10

Aim: How is Redox demonstrated in a voltaic cell? Objectives: 1.Students should know that there are two types of electrochemical cells and which one is spontaneous and which one requires energy, in which one is chemical energy converted to electrical energy and in which one electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. 2.Students should be able to draw and label all the parts of a voltaic cell set-up. 3.Students should know where oxidation occurs and where reduction occurs in a voltaic cell. 4.Students should be able to determine the direction and location of electron flow in a voltaic cell. 5.Students should know the purpose of the salt bridge. 6.Students should be able to identify which anode gains mass and which one loses mass and why. 11

12 Electrochemical Cells: Application of Redox Reactions Electrochemical cells involve a chemical reaction and a flow of electrons. During a redox reaction there is an exchange (flow) of electrons. An electrochemical cell is used to channel and control this flow of electrons for use as electricity. There are two types of electrochemical cells: voltaic (galvanic) cells (spontaneous) in which chemical energy is converted to electrical energy and electrolytic cells (require energy) in which electrical energy is converted to chemical energy. There are two metal bars or surfaces in an electrochemical cell that can conduct electricity called electrodes. Oxidation and reduction occur at the electrodes.
13
13 Components of Voltaic Cells Electrodes: 2 metals, one in each beaker of solution containing that metal ion. Ex. Zn metal in a beaker containing Zn 2+ ions and Cu metal in a beaker containing Cu 2+ ions. Wires connecting the two pieces of metal and attached to a voltmeter. Electrons flow through the wire and the voltmeter measures the flow. Salt bridge connecting the two beakers containing different types of ions. The purpose of the salt bridge is to provide a path for ions to flow.

Chemical energy is converted to electrical energy. A battery is an example. Voltaic = spontaneous redox rxn
