9.1.1 Define oxidation and reduction in terms of electron loss and gain. Oxidation: the loss of electrons Reduction: the gain of electrons 9.1.2 Deduce the oxidation number of an element in a compound. Always determine elements that never change their oxidation number then ensure the charge of whole molecule is right. N.B. Atoms in elemental state have oxidation numbers of 0 9.1.3 State the names of compounds using oxidation numbers. Example of this in iron‚ can be iron(II) or iron(III) 9.1.4 Deduce

solution‚ MnO4- ion undergoes reduction to Mn2+ this is the equation: 8H+(aq) + Mno4-(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O Since the KMnO4 – ion is violet and the Mn2+ ion is nearly 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

moles/1000 mL = .0005 moles/10 mL = moles of hydroxylammonium chloride Ratio of Fe+2 to NH3OH+ = 2:1 2e- + 2Fe+3 --> 2Fe+2 so transfer of 2 electrons NH3OH+ --> something + 2e- Oxidation number of N in NH3OH+ is -1‚ therefore the oxidation number for N on the product side must be +1 because it gains 2 electrons. N2O has an oxidation number of +1 for N‚ so that would work. Data:Equation 1: NH3OH+ + 2Fe+3 --> something + 2Fe+2 Equation 2: 8H+ + 5Fe+2 + MnO4- --> 5Fe+3 + Mn+2 + 4H2O Equation 3: 6H+ +

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

8.07 Work File: Oxidation Reduction Reactions 1. What is the difference between an oxidizing agent and a reducing agent? The oxidation number (overall charge of the atom) is reduced in reduction and this is accomplished by adding electrons. The electrons‚ being negative‚ reduce the overall oxidation number of the atom receiving the electrons. Oxidation is the reverse process: the oxidation number of an atom is increased during oxidation. This is done by removing electrons. The electrons‚ being

Potassium permanganate which is a strong oxidizing agent‚ with unknown sample dissolved in deionized water. The result of the experiment was a 99.5% purity for the anhydrous iron (II) ammonium sulfate. Introduction: In this experiment‚ oxidation/reduction (or redox) will be used in the titration analysis of an iron compound. We will use potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4‚ as the titrant in the analysis of an unknown sample containing iron to determine the percent iron by mass in the sample. In

Name: Date of experiment: 04/02/12 Date of report: 04/03/12 Title: Oxidation – Reduction Activity Series Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to
