Topik Relevan

1. Definition of Redox Reactions: Explain that oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve electron transfers between reactants, resulting in changes to the oxidation number (ox) of the elements involved. Clarify that oxidation means losing electrons, while reduction refers to gaining electrons.

2. Oxidation Number (Ox): Describe oxidation numbers as a means of tracking electron transfers. Provide examples illustrating how to identify the ox of various elements in both simple and complex compounds.

3. Balancing Redox Equations: Demonstrate how to balance redox equations, starting with the oxidation-reduction method followed by the ion-electron method. Give detailed, step-by-step examples of balancing redox equations.

4. Identification of Oxidising and Reducing Agents: Explain that the oxidising agent is the substance that accepts electrons (and is thus reduced), while the reducing agent is the one that donates electrons (and is thus oxidised). Provide clear examples to illustrate the identification of agents in various redox reactions.

1. Question 1: Determine the oxidation number (ox) of chromium in Cr2O7^2-. 2. To find the ox of chromium in the dichromate ion (Cr2O7^2-), remember that oxygen normally has an ox of -2. With seven oxygen atoms, the total ox for oxygen is -14. The total of all oxidation numbers in the ion must equal the ion's charge, -2. So: 3. 2 * (ox of Cr) + 7 * (ox of O) = -2 4. 2 * (ox of Cr) + 7 * (-2) = -2 5. 2 * (ox of Cr) - 14 = -2 6. 2 * (ox of Cr) = 12 7. ox of Cr = 12 / 2 = +6 8. Therefore, the oxidation number of chromium in Cr2O7^2- is +6. 9. Question 2: Balance the following redox equation using the ion-electron method: MnO4^- + Fe^2+ → Mn^2+ + Fe^3+. 10. Step 1: Write the half-equations for oxidation and reduction: 11. Oxidation: Fe^2+ → Fe^3+ + e^- 12. Reduction: MnO4^- + 8H^+ + 5e^- → Mn^2+ + 4H2O 13. Step 2: Balance the electrons in the half-equations: 14. Oxidation: Fe^2+ → Fe^3+ + e^- (multiply by 5) 15. 5Fe^2+ → 5Fe^3+ + 5e^- 16. Reduction: MnO4^- + 8H^+ + 5e^- → Mn^2+ + 4H2O 17. Step 3: Combine the half-equations: 18. 5Fe^2+ + MnO4^- + 8H^+ → 5Fe^3+ + Mn^2+ + 4H2O 19. The balanced equation is: 5Fe^2+ + MnO4^- + 8H^+ → 5Fe^3+ + Mn^2+ + 4H2O. 20. Question 3: Identify the oxidising agent and the reducing agent in the reaction between H2 and O2 forming H2O. 21. In the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, hydrogen is oxidised while oxygen is reduced. Thus: 22. Oxidising agent: O2 (accepts electrons and is reduced) 23. Reducing agent: H2 (donates electrons and is oxidised)
