Redox Reaction Flashcards
(24 cards)
Reactions that involve transfer of electrons
Redox Reactions
A reaction which occurs between a reducing and
oxidizing agent
Redox Reactions
An increase in oxidation number of an atom signifies?
Oxidation from +2 to +4
A decrease in oxidation number of an atom signifies?
Reduction from 0 to -1
Oxidation and reduction always occur together in a chemical reaction
redox reactions
Very Strong OA na Self-indication and widely used
KMnO4
Slightly weaker OA, available as primary standard, and stable
K2Cr2O7
Powerful OA, Highly affected by acid used, Very unstable, very expensive
Ce(SO4)2
weaker OA, Not suitable in water - KI
I2
Powerful OA in the presence of an acid, very sensitive, Methyl orange
KBrO3
used in the assay of I^-, As^3+, etc, reduction potential varies with Assay conditions, depends on the formation of ICl in highly acidic solutions
KIO3
Standardized using ascorbic acid, self-indicating
DCIP
Less common OA, very sensitive to light - requires standardization
Ke3Fe(CN)6
Enumerate some oxidizing agents
KMnO4
K2CrO7
Ce(SO4)2
I2
KBrO3
KIO3
DCIP
K3Fe(CN)6
Enumerate some reducing agents
H2C2O4
Na2S2O3
As2O3
TiCl3
Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2
Residual Titration with KMnO4 and deteriorates upon standing
H2C2O4
Common RA that is stable to air oxidation, Stable - can be kept for long periods, titer value is affected by bacteria
Na2S2O3
It is solubilized by NaOH or KOH, a RA in neutral or alkaline medium, and acts as OA in acidic medium
As2O3
Very power RA, Titration of Fe, Sn, Cr, V, ClO4-
TiCl3
Slowly oxidized by air in H2SO4 and is a common titrating agent, not a strong RA and can be used to titrate strong OA sych s Ce, Cr, V. Should be standardized
Fe(NH4)2(SO4)2
For Assay of sulfa drugs and other compounds containing arylamino group
NaNO2
What are some of the indicators of detection of endpoint
Self-indication
Redox Indicators
Starch Indicators
External Indicators
employed if the titrant is highly colored
Self-indication
highly colored dyes that are weak
reducing or oxidizing agents that can be oxidized or
reduced
Redox Indicators
