Issue 36: Chemistry: Electrons (Hoyle's Freshman Honor Chem Class)

Chem Quiz Study Guide
In which process does the nitrogen undergo oxidation?
(A) N2 --> 2NH3
(B) N2O4 --> 2NO2
(C) 2NO3–  --> N2O5
(D) NO2–  --> NO3–


Which equation represents an oxidation-reduction
reaction?
(A) H2SO4 + 2NH3→ (NH4)2SO4
(B) H2SO4 + Na2CO3→ Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2
(C) 2K2CrO4 + H2SO4→ K2Cr2O7 + K2SO4 + H2O
(D) 2H2SO4 + Cu → CuSO4 + 2H2O + SO2


is the lab due wed? ←-yesh o’rly


To Find Oxidation Number:
  • Pure element in standard state- has an oxidation of 0
  • Oxygen in a compound is usually -2, unless it’s in H2O2 or N2O2  Then, O is -1. OF2 : O=2+
  • H is always +1, unless it’s in a metal hydride (ex: LiH). Then it’s -1.
  • Group 1 is always +1
  • The sum of the oxidation #s in a compound is 0.
  • The sum of ox #s in a polyatomic ion is = to charge of the ion
  • Ions always have an ox # = to its charge
  • F is always -1
Oxidation and Reduction:
Leo Goes Ger- Losing Electrons Oxidation goes Gaining Electrons Reduction


Voltaic cell
  • spontaneous
  • Produces electric current
  • has salt bridge
  • Uses a chemical reaction to produce electricity


Electrolytic cell
  • nonspontaneous
  • Uses applied electric current
  • has a power source (ex. battery)
  • Produces a chemical reaction with the use of electricity
