Transcript Exp 19A: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

Exp 19A: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
• Oxidation-Reduction (Redox) reactions
– Net movement of electrons from one reactant to the other
– Movement from reactant with less attraction to reactant with more
attraction for electrons (larger electron affinity)
– Occurs in both ionic and covalent bond formation
Examples
2 Mg(s)+ O2(g)  2 MgO (s)
ionic bond formation
transfer of electrons (formation of
cations and anions)
H2(g) + Cl2(g)  2 HCl(g)
covalent bond formation
shift in electron charge (dipole,
polarity)
Exp 19A: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
etransfer
X or shift of Y
electrons
Oxidation: loss of electrons
Mg  Mg2+ + 2eReduction: gain in electrons
½ O2 + 2e-  O2-
X looses electron(s)
Y gains electron(s)
X is oxidized
Y is reduced
X is the reducing agent
Y is the oxidizing agent
X increases its
“oxidation number”
Y decreases its
“oxidation number”
• reducing agents loose electrons while oxidizing agents gain electrons
simultaneously
• a chemical change cannot be an “oxidation reaction” or just a “reduction
reaction”
• it is always an “oxidation-reduction” reaction
Exp 19A: Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Goal of the Experiment (I)
 Observe redox reactions between halogens
(oxidizers) and halogen ions (halides, reducers) in
cyclohexane
– Halide ions (polar!) are insoluble in non-polar
cyclohexane
– Halogens (non-polar!) are soluble in cyclohexane
– If a reaction takes place, the color in the cyclohexane
may be different from the color in water, but …..
– You have to make very careful observations and
THINK about the results
Redox Activity of Halogens
F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2
• Redox potential and reactivity decreases down Group 7A
• A halogen higher in the periodic system oxidizes one that
is lower in the periodic system
 Chlorine can oxidize bromide

2 Br- (aq) + Cl2 (aq)  Br2 (aq) + 2 Cl- (aq)
 Bromine cannot oxidize chloride
2 Cl- (aq) + Br2 (aq)  no reaction

Goal of the Experiment (II)
 Observe redox reactions with permanganate and iron(III) ions
 Reduction of
– MnO4- (permanganate, purple) to MnO42- (manganate, green)
– MnO4- (permanganate, purple) to MnO2 (manganese oxide,
black solid)
– MnO4- (permanganate, purple) to Mn2+ (manganese(II) ion,
pink)
– Fe3+ (iron(III), reddish brown) to Fe2+(iron(II), pale green)
