1. Studio 13b: Activity Series

2. Redox Reactions 2 Fe (s) + 3 Cl 2(g)  2 FeCl 3(s) Fe 0  Fe +3 Cl 0  Cl - A species is said to undergo REDUCTION if it GAINS electrons A species is said to undergo OXIDATION if it LOSES electrons LEO the lion goes GER OIL RIG

3. Electrochemistry Agents The oxidizing agent is the species that gets reduced and gains electrons. The reducing agent is the species that gets oxidized and loses electrons. Zn (s) + 2 HCl (aq)  ZnCl 2(aq) + H 2(g) Determine the oxidation state of each reactant and product What was oxidized? What was reduced? What is the oxidizing agent? What is the reducing agent?
