Redox Reactions C
Übersicht
A blast furnace in Nigeria, Brazil or China spends its whole working life pulling oxygen off iron ore, and the moment the finished steel leaves the mill the air begins putting that oxygen back. Extraction and rusting look like completely unrelated pieces of chemistry. They are the same process running in opposite directions, and once you can see that, an enormous amount of this course stops being a list of separate reactions and turns into one idea wearing different clothes.
That idea is redox. This lesson gives you two ways of recognising it: an older definition built on oxygen, which is easy to use and works on maybe a third of the reactions you meet, and a deeper one built on electrons, which works on all of them. You will finish able to look at any equation on the specification, from a burning fuel to a lump of scrap iron in a copper solution, and say without hesitation which substance was oxidised, which was reduced, and how you know.
Ziele
- Oxidation can be described as the gain of oxygen by a substance and reduction as the loss of oxygen from a substance.
- Oxidation can also be described as the loss of electrons and reduction as gain of electrons. Students should be able to describe chemical reactions within this specification in terms of oxidation and reduction using the definitions above.
- When oxidation and reduction are happening at the same time this is known as a redox reaction, for example: Reduction Fe2O3 + 3 CO 2 Fe + 3 CO2 Oxidation
