Redox

Today, Ms. K went over the Rules for Determining Oxidation Numbers, we also went over the homework that was assigned for us on Friday. The worksheet question 1-4: Assigning Oxidation Numbers -- Practice.


Oxidation - involves an increase in oxidation
Reduction - involves a decrease in oxidation #

We also learn, how to indicate whether or not the reaction is a Redox reaction

Example of Reduction:

0 +1+5 -2--------> 0 +2 +5 -2

Cu + AgNO3------->Ag + Cu(NO3)

- Ag gain 1 electrons (Reduction)

- Cu loss of 2 electrons (Oxidation)

& we were asked to work on our yellow Booklet on page 21 question #2-17, for tomorrow.
