redox reactions Flashcards
what are spectator ions?
one that does not participate in the chemical reaction and it has to be removed
acronym: oil rig
Oxidation
Is
Loss of electrons
Reduction
Is
Gain of electrons
acronym: ORR and ROO
ORR the Oxidant is
Reduced during
Reduction
ROO the Reductant is
Oxidised during
Oxidation
i half equation if its reduction electrons are placed …and if oxidation they are placed…
reduction=left/beginning
oxidation=right/end
what is the order of conjugate pairs
(aq) solution first
oxidising agent
The oxidising agent causes the oxidation
of another substance and is itself reduced.
reducing agent
The reducing agent causes the reduction
of another substance and is itself oxidised.
2H+ charge=…
+2
-e is placed on the side….
that hase more electrond
When simplifying you must…
cancel electrons by multiplying both sides
cancel water
cancel h+
