1
Q
Do precipitation rxns have changed oxidation states?
A
no
2
Q
What makes a redox rxn a redox rxn?
A
the oxidation states of reactants change
3
Q
Acid-Base Reactions
A
the base produces hydroxide in aqueous solutions
4
Q
Oxidation-Reduction Rxns
A
electrons transferred from one reactant to another, which charges their oxidation state
5
Q
Who discovered redox reactions?
A
Antione Levoisior
6
Q
Oxidation
A
increase in oxidation state which means it loses electrons
7
Q
Reduction
A
decrease in oxidation state which means more electrons
8
Q
Reducing Agent
A
the element that loses electrons in an equation
9
Q
Oxidizing Agent
A
the element that gains electrons in an equation
