Redox – what?
Oxidation and reduction happen at the same time
There is no net gain or loss of electrons.
e- You can’t just create them or destroy them!

OIL - Oxidation Is Loss of electrons
RIG - Reduction Is Gain of electrons
Remember:
And often... (as a quick and simple way to tell):
Oxidation is gain in oxygen or loss of hydrogen
Reduction is loss of oxygen or gain of hydrogen

Oxidation state
Oxidation and reduction can be seen as movement up or down a scale of oxidation states

Redox in presence of acidExample: a past exam question
a) Identify, as oxidation or reduction, the formation of NO2 from NO3
- in the presence of H+ and deduce the half-equation for the reaction.
NO3- NO2
+5 +4Reduction
![Page 8: Redox equations. Starter What is redox? Redox – what? Oxidation and reduction happen at the same time There is no net gain or loss of electrons. e-e-](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082518/5697bff71a28abf838cbeb59/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Steps to take1. Write a balanced equation for the species
2. Work out “before and after” oxidation states
3. Balance oxidation states with electrons
NO3- NO2
+5 +4
NO3- + e- NO2
NO3- + e- + 2H+ NO2
5. If the equation still doesn’t balance, add enough water to one side so it balances
NO3- + e- + 2H+ NO2 + H2O
4. If all the charges don’t balance, add H+ ions to one of the sides to balance them
Beautiful!

Exam Question
• 1. Mercury thermometers are not used in some laboratories because of the danger of mercury vapour. This vapour is very easily absorbed through the lungs into the blood.In the blood, mercury reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form mercury(II) oxide.
• Hg + H2O2 → HgO + H2O• The mercury(II) oxide formed accumulates within
organs in the body.• Use oxidation numbers to show that the reaction
between mercury and hydrogen peroxide is an example of both oxidation and reduction.

Combining half equations
Just a mashing together of two half-equations!
... followed by some satisfying cancelling-out.

1. Multiply the equations so that the number of electrons in each is the same
2. Add the two equations and cancel out the electrons on either side of the equation
3. If necessary, cancel out any other species which appear on both sides of the equation
