Introduction To Redox (Chem
30)

Single Replacement Reactions:

These reactions involve one element substituting another in a compound.

Serve as an introduction to oxidation and reduction concepts.

Half-Reactions:

Reactions can be divided into two half-reactions.

Each half-reaction represents changes in one reactant.

Simplify explanations and are crucial for understanding redox reactions.

Example Reaction:

Zinc (Zn) reacting with hydrochloric acid (HCl) forms zinc chloride (ZnCl2) and
hydrogen gas (H2):

Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Zinc Oxidation:

Zinc atoms in solid (Zn(s)) lose two electrons to become zinc ions in solution
(Zn²⁺(aq)):

Zn(s) → Zn²⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻

Hydrochloric Acid Reduction:

Hydrogen ions (H⁺(aq)) in the solution gain electrons and become hydrogen gas
(H2(g)):

2 H⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → H2(g)

Reduction and Oxidation:

Reduction involves gaining electrons.

Oxidation involves losing electrons.

Reduction neutralizes ions, while oxidation forms ions.

Redox Reactions:
