Introduction Reduction/Oxidation (Redox) reactions are ones that change the oxidation state of a compound. The oxidation state refers to the acquired charge (gained or lost electrons) of an element in relation to its original charge (i.e. S + 2e- S2+); in a compound‚ the overall oxidation state is calculated by adding all the charges of the elements present. The addition of electrons makes the element “reduced” and the loss of electrons is called “oxidized”. These reactions can be carried out in

Borneol; An Oxidation-Reduction Scheme Nicolas Gibson Lab Time: Tuesday 11:30 am Abstract: In this experiment‚ the main objective was to synthesize a ketone from borneol via an oxidation reaction and secondly‚ to produce a secondary alcohol from camphor via a reduction reaction. Therefore‚ the hypothesis of this lab is that camphor will be produced in the oxidation reaction and isoborneol will be the product of the reduction reaction because of steric hindrance. For the oxidation

Introduction: Borneol (FIGURE-1)‚ first reported and published in the Tang Bencao in 659 A.D.‚ is often used in drug treatment‚ especially in Chinese drugs. It is helpful in opening obstruction of orifices‚ heat syndromes and pain releasing (Dharmananda). Nowadays artificially synthesized borneol‚ a mixture of borneol and isoborneol (FIGURE-2)‚ becomes more popular than pure natural borneol because of the lower cost in drug production. However‚ isoborneol is more toxic than borneol and thus is not

Week 10: Oxidation and Reduction Reactions: The Reactions of Copper Data: Part I: Preparing a solution of copper (II) nitrate Initial mass of copper wire: .520g Mass of copper wire after vigorously scouring: .518g Observations of Copper (II) ribbon mixed with HNO3: Solution turned green. Thick brown gas formed. Copper (II) bubbled vigorously. Cu (II) dissolved‚ solution appeared green/blue. After the addition of H2O a blue crusty precipitate formed. Part II: Synthesis of solid copper

Title: Redox Reactions Research Question: Is it possible to determine if a redox reaction took place by using only the equation? Hypothesis: Yes‚ I believe it is possible to determine if this reaction took place by using the oxidation numbers in the equation. Variables: 1. I cleaned the reaction surface to limit contamination 2. I held the chemicals at approximately a 90 degree angle for consistency Introduction: Redox reactions occur when both oxidation and reduction take place. All atoms

colorless‚ the end point titrations using KMnO4 as the titrant can be taken as the first pink color that appears in the solution (and stays without disappearing). The titration which involves the oxidation of Fe2+ ion to Fe3+ by permanganate ion‚ is carried out in sulfuric acid to prevent air-oxidation of Fe2+ (we can them determine the accurate number of oxygen reacted this way).

INTRODUCTION For this experiment we studied an oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual
