    1.1 (P) Oxidation & Reduction

    Uploaded by

    Chel Son
    This document defines oxidation and reduction reactions and provides examples to identify substances undergoing these processes. Oxidation is defined as losing electrons or hydrogen, gaining oxygen, or increasing oxidation number. Reduction is defined as gaining electrons or hydrogen, losing oxygen, or decreasing oxidation number. Four examples are given involving carbon, ammonia, magnesium, and copper to identify substances undergoing oxidation, reduction, and acting as oxidizing or reducing agents based on these definitions and changes in electrons, hydrogen, oxygen, or oxidation number. Oxidation numbers are also discussed as playing a role in chemical nomenclature.

    REDOX REACTION

    9.1 OXIDATION AND REDUCTION


    DEFINITION
    OF
    OXIDATION &
    REDUCTION
    DEFINITION OF OXIDISING AGENT & REDUCING
    AGENT
    • Oxidising agent
    – Substance that undergoes reduction itself.
    – Substance that causes another reactant to be oxidised.
    • Reducing agent
    – Substance that undergoes oxidation itself.
    – Substance that causes another reactant to be reduced.
    EXAMPLE 1:
    (GAIN / LOSE OF OXYGEN)

    Based on the following, identify substances


    that undergo oxidation, reduction, as
    oxidizing agent and as reducing agent, with
    suitable reason.
    (a) Carbon undergoes oxidation by gaining
    oxygen.
    (b) Carbon is reducing agent as it reduces
    copper(II) oxide to copper.
    (c) Copper(II) oxide undergoes reduction
    by losing oxygen.
    (d) Copper(II) oxide is oxidizing agent as it
    oxidises carbon to carbon dioxide.
    EXAMPLE 2:
    (GAIN / LOSE OF HYDROGEN)
    Based on the following, identify substances that
    undergo oxidation, reduction, as oxidizing agent and
    as reducing agent, with suitable reason.
    (a) Ammonia undergoes oxidation by losing
    hydrogen.
    (b) Ammonia is reducing agent as it reduces
    bromine to hydrogen bromide.
    (c) Bromine undergoes reduction by gaining
    hydrogen.
    (d) Bromine is oxidizing agent as it oxidises
    ammonia to nitrogen.
    EXAMPLE 3:
    (RECEIVE / RELEASE ELECTRON)
    Based on the following, identify substances that
    undergo oxidation, reduction, as oxidizing agent and as
    reducing agent, with suitable reason.
    (a) Magnesium undergoes oxidation by releasing
    electrons.
    (b) Magnesium is reducing agent as it reduces
    copper(II) ion to copper.
    (c) Copper(II) ion undergoes reduction by receiving
    OXIDATION - releases electron REDUCTION - receives electron electrons.
    Magnesium oxidised Copper(II) ions reduced
    (d) Copper(II) ion is oxidizing agent as it oxidises
    magnesium to magnesium ion.
    EXAMPLE 4:
    (INCREASE / DECREASE IN OXIDATION NUMBER)
    Based on the following, identify substances that
    undergo oxidation, reduction, as oxidizing agent and as
    reducing agent, with suitable reason.
    (a) Magnesium undergoes oxidation by increasing
    oxidation number from 0 to +2.
    (b) Magnesium is reducing agent as it reduces
    copper(II) ion to copper.
    OXIDATION – increase REDUCTION – decrease (c) Copper(II) ion undergoes reduction by
    oxidation number from 0 to +2 oxidation number from +2 to 0
    magnesium oxidised copper(II) ions reduced decreasing oxidation number from +2 to 0.
    (d) Copper(II) ion is oxidizing agent as it oxidises
    magnesium to magnesium ion.
    OXIDATION NUMBER

    - Oxidation numbers also play an


    important role in the systematic
    nomenclature of chemical
    compounds.

    - Oxidation number of an atom is


    the charge that atom would have if
    the compound was composed of
    ions.
    CALCULATION FOR
    OXIDATION NUMBER

    • Always refer to cation and


    anion chart & periodic table
    of elements for the charges.

    • In the example given, we are


    looking for the oxidation
    number of carbon (C).
