REDOX REACTIONS OiL RiG Oxidation is Losing electrons (becomes more positive) Reduction is Gaining electrons (becomes less positive) more positive (Lost e-s) 0 2+ Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) 1+ Less positive (Gained e-s) 0 Put in charges and look at changes Cu is oxidized from 0 to 2+ Ag1+ is reduced from 1+ to 0 Cu is the reducing agent and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent Assign oxidation numbers for each element below MgC2O4 H2SO4 H2SO3 Cr2O72- Co(NO3)2 Assign oxidation numbers for each element below MgC2O4 +2 Mg + 2x C 4(-2) O + = 0 overall charge x = +3 (the assigned charge for carbon in this compound) H2SO4 2(+1) + H x S 4(-2) O + = 0 overall charge x = +6 (the assigned charge for sulfur in this compound) H2SO3 2(+1) + H x S 3(-2) O + = 0 overall charge x = +4 (the assigned charge for sulfur in this compound) Cr2O72- Co(NO3)2 2x + Cr 7(-2) O = -2 overall charge x = +6 (the assigned charge for chromium in this compound) +2 2x 6(-2) 0 + + = Co N O overall charge x = +5 (the assigned charge for nitrogen in this compound) 2 MnO (s) + 5 PbO2 (s) + 10 HNO3 (aq) → 2 HMnO4 (aq) + 5 Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 4 H2O (l) ______ is oxidized from a ______ charge to a ________ charge. _______ is reduced from a ______ charge to a ________ charge. _______ ____ is the reducing agent. ____________ is the oxidizing agent. More positive (Lost electrons) OiL +2 +7 +4 +2 2 MnO (s) + 5 PbO2 (s) + 10 HNO3 (aq) → 2 HMnO4 (aq) + 5 Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + 4 H2O (l) Less positive (Gains electrons) RiG Mn2+ is oxidized from a ______ +2 charge to a ________ +7 charge. (OiL) ______ +4 charge to a ________ Pb4+ is reduced from a ______ +2 _______ charge. (RiG) MnO ____________ is the reducing agent. PbO2 ____________ is the oxidizing agent. Fe (s) + FeCl3 (aq) → FeCl2 (aq) ______ is oxidized from a ______ charge to a ________ charge. _______ is reduced from a ______ charge to a ________ charge ____________ is the reducing agent. ____________ is the oxidizing agent. 0 +3 +2 Fe (s) + FeCl3 (aq) → FeCl2 (aq) 0 charge to a ________ +2 Fe ______ is oxidized from a ______ charge. (OiL) Fe3+ is reduced from a ______ +3 charge to a ________ +2 _______ charge. (RiG) Fe ____ is the reducing agent. _______ FeCl3 ____________ is the oxidizing agent. +2 0 +5 +4 Cu (s) + 4 HNO3 (aq) → 2 NO2 (g) + 2 H2O (l) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq) Cu is oxidized from a ______ 0 charge to a ________ +2 ______ charge. (OiL) N+5 +5 charge to a ________ +4 _______ is reduced from a ______ charge. (RiG) Cu ____________ is the reducing agent. HNO3 ____________ is the oxidizing agent.
