    Chemsheets as 1037 Redox Reactions or Not

    Uploaded by

    lealadrian599
    The document explains redox reactions, defining oxidation as the loss of electrons and reduction as the gain of electrons. It describes the roles of oxidising and reducing agents in these reactions, including disproportionation reactions where a species is both oxidised and reduced. A table is provided for completing reactions with their respective oxidation states and identifying whether they are redox or disproportionation reactions.

    Redox reactions

    In any reaction where one species is oxidised (loses electrons), another must be reduced (gains electrons). Both reduction
    and oxidation take place and so they are called redox reactions.

    Definitions in terms of electrons: oxidation = loss of electrons


    reduction = gain of electrons
    oxidising agent = species that removes electrons from another
    reducing agent = species that gives electrons to another

    Note that the oxidising agent removes electrons from a species and so is itself reduced as it gains electrons. Similarly, a
    reducing agent is itself oxidised.

    Mg oxidised from 0 to +2 (loses electrons) to form Mg

    Oxidising agent = HCl (Cl in HCl takes away electrons from Mg)

    Mg 0 Mg +2
    H +1 H0 + -
    Cl -1 Cl -1 REDUCTION 2H + 2e H2
    +
    H reduced from +1 to 0 (gains electrons) to form H2
    +
    Reducing agent = Mg (Mg gives electrons to H in HCl)

    Disproportionation reactions

    In a disproportionation reaction, a species is simultaneously oxidised and reduced.

    e.g. Cl2 + H2O → HCl + HOCl


    Cl 0 -1 +1
    H +1 +1 +1 Cl reduced from 0 to -1 and oxidised from 0 to +1 redox reaction
    O -2 - (disproportionation)
