Redox Reactions

Muhtasari

A 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 corrosion look like completely unrelated pieces of chemistry. They are the same process running in opposite directions, and once you can see that, a large part of this course stops being a list of separate reactions and turns into one idea wearing different clothes.

That idea is redox, and this specification gives you a single, very portable test for spotting it: follow the oxygen. A substance that finishes with more oxygen than it started with has been oxidised, one that finishes with less has been reduced, and any reaction where both of those are going on at once is a redox reaction. You will finish this lesson able to take an equation you have never seen before, decide in under a minute which substance was oxidised and which was reduced, and say exactly how you know.

Malengo

  1. Oxidation can be described as the gain of oxygen by a substance and reduction as the loss of oxygen from a substance. Students should be able to describe chemical reactions within this specification in terms of oxidation and reduction using the definitions above.
  2. When oxidation and reduction are happening at the same time this is known as a redox reaction, for example: Fe2O3 + 3 CO 2 Fe + 3 CO2 Oxidation

Maelezo ya Somo

Iron does not occur in the ground as iron. It occurs as iron(III) oxide, a red-brown rock in which every iron atom is already locked to oxygen. Getting metal out of it means stripping that oxygen away, and a furnace is essentially a very large, very hot machine built to do exactly that. The furnace wins. Then the beam, the bridge or the gate goes out into damp air, and over the following years the oxygen quietly walks back in. The orange crust that forms is iron(III) oxide again. A whole industry of galvanising, painting, greasing and electroplating exists to slow down a reaction that is simply the reverse of the one the furnace was built to force.
