Oxidation and Reduction
Any chemical process in which elements undergo changes in oxidation number is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
This name is often shortened to Redox reaction.
Reactions are carried out in electrochemical cells called: half cells
![Page 4: Electrochemistry Ch.19 & 20 Using chemical reactions to produce electricity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649f505503460f94c7317c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
ReductionReaction in which the oxidation state of an element
decreases
When an atom or ion gains one or more electrons
Cu2+ (aq) +2e- Cu (s)
The species being reduced is called the oxidizing agent
Reduction takes place at the cathode (+):metal electrode placed in a half cell

OxidationReaction in which the atoms or ions increase in oxidation
state
When an atom or ion losses one or more electrons.
Zn (s) Zn2+ + 2e-
The species being oxidized is called the reducing agent.
Reduction takes place at the anode (-).

In a redox reaction,
number of electrons lost = number of electrons gained
Total Redox Reaction of Cu & Zn:
Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)

Assigning Oxidation Numbers
General Rules
Assign the most electronegative element first with the value it would have as an anion
Next, decide the oxidation number of the cation (same as usual), if an ionic compound. Or determine the o.n. of the left most element. Always leave the middle element last.
The charge the atom would have in a molecule (or anionic compound) if electrons were completely transferred

Assigning Oxidation NumbersGeneral Rules (continued):
The oxidation numbers of all elements present should add up to zero , if a neutral compound.
Or add up to the charge if an ion.
Specific Rules:
Pure elements always have an oxidation number of zero.

Assigning Oxidation NumbersSpecific Rules (continued):
Fluorine always is _____. It’s the most e.n. element.
Oxygen can be +2 or -2, except in perioxide compounds; Then it is -1.
Hydrogen can be +1 or -1 (only -1 with a metal)

Electron Pathway in an Electrochemical Cell
![Page 12: Electrochemistry Ch.19 & 20 Using chemical reactions to produce electricity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649f505503460f94c7317c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
How are electrochemical processes carried out?Both oxidation and reduction must occur in an
electrochemical reaction.
Half-cell: A single electrode (anode or cathode) immersed in a solution of its ions
An electrochemical cell will contain 2 half-cell
Electrons can be transferred from one half-cell to the other through an external connecting wire called a circuit
![Page 13: Electrochemistry Ch.19 & 20 Using chemical reactions to produce electricity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/56649f505503460f94c7317c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• Electricity is the movement of electrons along a given path.
• The circuit is a closed loop path, so the movement of electrons through the wire is balanced by the movement of ions in solution.

• Voltaic cells (galvanic cells) use spontaneous oxidation-reduction reactions to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
• The most common application of voltaic cells is in batteries.
