What this Redox Reactions sheet covers
Classical and electron-transfer pictures
Oxidation number: the bookkeeping rule
Fixed oxidation number rules
Worked: oxidation number of S in SO2 and in the sulfate ion
Stock notation
Fractional oxidation numbers
Oxidising agent vs reducing agent
Oxidising agent
Reducing agent
Balancing by the oxidation number method
Worked: CuO + NH3, oxidation number method
Balancing by the ion-electron (half-reaction) method
Worked: MnO4- with Fe2+, acidic medium
Redox couples and standard electrode potential
Standard electrode potentials, selected couples
Predicting spontaneity from E-naught
write reduction for one species, oxidation for the other, flip the sign of E° for the oxidation step, then sum
Fe^3++I^-: reduction +0.77 V, oxidation of I^- reversed gives -0.54 V
Ag^++Cu(s): reduction +0.80 V, oxidation of Cu reversed gives -0.34 V
These notes are not a standalone PDF. CapCompass plans Chemistry chapter by chapter against your real exam dates and free hours, and when the plan reaches Redox Reactions the sheet opens inside the study block itself ā at the page covering the sub-topic that block is on, with the timer still running. Revision arrives at the moment the plan says revise, instead of having to be gone looking for.
