WHAT’S IN
Oxidation reduction reaction, also referred to as redox reaction, is the basis of
any technology that involves the conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy and
vice versa. Redox is also the basic reaction involved in the two most important life-
sustaining processes – respiration and photosynthesis. In the living cell, oxidation of

ly
glucose provides the body with much-needed energy. Other important natural

On
processes such as decay and burning of fuel are also redox reactions. Knowing that
changes like decomposition, corrosion, or tarnishing of metals are redox reactions that
enable us to keep these reactions under control. Agents of oxidation such as chlorine

m
and ozone have been used to destroy microorganisms in water, while hypochlorite and

ea
peroxides serve as bleaching agents. The breath analyzer instrument used to check if
a driver is intoxicated also involves redox reaction.

tT
In the previous lesson, you learned that oxidation and reduction reactions always

en
occur simultaneously. This means that if one substance is oxidized, another substance

m
must be reduced. Combination between any substance and oxygen has since been
described as an oxidation process. By the turn of the 20th century, it was noted that the
op
oxidation process always seemed to involve loss of electrons. Consequently, the
accompanying process which involves gaining of electrons is called reduction. Hence,
l
ve

redox is viewed as a reaction involving the transfer of electrons from the atom that is
oxidized to the atom that is reduced. An example that clearly shows that the electron
De

transfer takes place is the reaction where Zn gives up 2e- and becomes Zn2+ and in
turn, Cu2+ is converted to Cu0 upon gaining 2e-. Although reduction and oxidation take
he

place simultaneously, it is often convenient to consider them as separate processes and


yt

can be represented as two half-reactions. Hence, this redox reaction may be written as:
db

Oxidation: Zn0 → Zn2+ + 2e-


te

Reduction: Cu2+ + 2e- → Cu0


es

Later studies showed, however, that oxidation reduction reactions do not always
aT

involve loss or gain of electrons, like, for example, the combustion of hydrogen.
ph

H2 + O2 → H2O
Al

In this particular reaction, since H2O is not an ionic substance, complete transfer
of electron does not really occur, yet H2 has been oxidized and oxygen reduced. This
gives rise to a new concept which extends the definition of oxidation and reduction to
reactions where electrons are not actually lost or gained. This is called the oxidation
number concept, which defines oxidation as a reaction wherein an atom or ion
undergoes an increase in oxidation number while reduction is a reaction wherein an

Page 3

atom or ion undergoes a decrease in oxidation number. Furthermore, the substance
that makes it possible for another substance to be oxidized is called the oxidizing agent
or oxidant. The oxidizing agent acquires the electrons from another substance, causing
it to be reduced. On the other hand, the reducing agent or reductant is oxidized in the
process by giving up its electrons to the substance it will reduce.

Oxidation number is a concept that helps in determining quickly whether the

ly
substance is undergoing oxidation or reduction. Other terms used to refer oxidation

On
number is valence or oxidation state. Oxidation state is the electrical charge assigned
to an atom according to a prescribed set of rules.

WHAT’S NEW
te
es

There are two ways of balancing oxidation reduction reactions. The first method is based
aT

on the change in oxidation number while the second method is based on the ion-electron
method.
ph

A. Balancing by oxidation number method


Step 1: Assign oxidation numbers of the elements in the chemical equation.
Al

Step 2: Determine which elements undergo changes in oxidation state.


Step 3: Determine the total increase and decrease in oxidation number or total number
of electrons lost and gained.
Step 4: Equalize the increase and decrease in oxidation number or total electrons lost
and gained by figuring out the proper multiplier which will become the new coefficients
in the chemical equation.

Page 4

Strictly for students use only of the Division of Cebu Province. DO NOT share to other divisions and other teaching or non-teaching personnel. Any violation will be dealt with accordingly. Beta evaluation is still pending.
Step 5: Finish balancing by counting the number of atoms of each element then
adjusting the coefficients until the same number of atoms are found on both sides of the
equation.

B. Balancing by ion-electron method


Step 1: Write a partial skeleton ionic equation that includes reactants and products
undergoing changes in oxidation state.

ly
Step 2: Divide the equation into two half-reactions, one for oxidation and the other for

On
reduction.
Step 3: Balance each half-reaction atomically.

m
Step 4: Balance the charges by adding electrons to the side with the greater total
positive charge. Then, multiply each half-reaction by the lowest possible integer so that

ea
the number of electrons lost in one half reaction equals the number of electrons gained

tT
in the other half.
Step 5: Add the two half-reactions algebraically and simplify whenever possible by

en
canceling species that appear on both sides of the equation if the reaction takes place
in acid medium. But an additional step has to be carried out when the given reaction
takes place in a basic medium, H+1 should not appear in the final equation.
m
op
Step 6: For basic medium, remove H+1 by using the equation H2O → H+1 + OH-, or the
reverse reaction, then add the 2 equations algebraically. Another technique in balancing
l
ve

redox reactions that occur in basic medium is to add OH- to the side deficient in oxygen
and add H2O to the side deficient in hydrogen.
De

yt

WHAT IS IT
db

To make comparisons as easy as possible when we finally construct a table, we


te

will write all half-reactions in the same pattern, just as we wrote acid equilibria in the
same pattern. The pattern shows electrons as reactants in the forward reaction. Thus,
es

the forward reactions will be reduction. Each such half-reaction has a reduction
aT

potential, the potential, relative to the reference, for one of its chemical species to be
reduced. A high positive value for a reduction potential will thus mean a half-reaction
ph

with some chemical that readily consumes electrons because it is prone to being
reduced. Half-reactions like this will have the more positive numbers in the table. Half-
Al

reactions with chemicals that easily give up electrons (because they are easily oxidized)
will have lower reduction potentials and many will have negative values in the table.

The reference half-reaction against which all others are rated is the following
equilibrium.

2H+(aq) + 2e- H2(g)

Notice that it conforms to the pattern; the forward reaction is a reduction and
electrons are shown as reactants. When the solution is exactly 1M in H+, the
temperature is 25°C, and the pressure of the H2 is exactly 1 atm, the reduction potential
for equilibrium 10.1 is defined as 0.00 volt. Any reduction potential that corresponds to
these arbitrary but standard conditions – concentrations of all chemical species of 1M,
a temperature of 25°C, and pressures of any gaseous species at 1 atm – is called a
standard reduction potential, E°.

ly
On
As we indicated, the unit for a reduction potential is the volt, V, the SI unit for
electrical potential. The symbol for reduction potential is E except when it refers to a
standard reduction potential, when E° is used. The volt is to flow of electrons in a

m
conductor roughly what pressure is to the flow of water in a conduit. We can think of the

ea
volt as the force that pushes an electrical current through a wire. This force, to
distinguish it from other forces, is called the electromotive force, or the emf, of the

tT
electrical system.

The table from page 6 gives the standard reduction potentials for several
common half-reactions. Those with positive E° values all have greater tendencies to run
as reductions than does the reference 2H +/H2 half-reaction. We already know, for
example, that Cl2 has a strong tendency to change to Cl- ions, which is a reduction. The
half-reaction is:

Cl2(g) + 2e- 2Cl-(aq) E° = +1.36 V

ly
For this half-reaction, E° = +1.36 V. From chemical knowledge, we know that

On
fluorine (also in group VIIA) has an even more powerful tendency than chlorine to
change to its negative ion, F-, and be reduced. So, its reduction potential should have a

m
higher positive number than that of chlorine, and it does.

ea
F2(g) + 2e- 2F-(aq) E° = +2.87 V

tT
Recall that F2 is the most reactive of all elements and always gets an oxidation

en
number of -1. It is also the most electronegative element. No wonder that the reduction
half-reaction for F2 has the highest, most positive reduction potential of all, E° = +2.87
V. Thus, the reduction potentials parallel, as they must, our knowledge of which systems
m
op
are relatively easily reduced.
l
The half-reactions in the table above with negative E° values are less able to run
ve

as reductions than the 2H+/H2 half-reaction. They are, in fact, more prone to run as
oxidations—that is, as the reverse of the half-reactions shown in the table. For example,
De

we already know that sodium metal, like all group IA elements, has a powerful tendency
to lose electrons—an oxidation—and change to sodium ions. The equation for the half-
he

reaction representing this strong tendency for Na to be oxidized to Na+ has to be shown
yt

with the electron as a product:


db

Na(s) → Na+(aq) + e- E° = +2.71 V

This equation is opposite to the way it is given in the table. Thus, the E° value for
te

the half-reaction involving Na given in the table has a negative sign, -2.71 V. The high
es

negative value tells us that the reaction, as written in the table, has little tendency to be
spontaneous.
aT
ph

Standard Reduction Potentials Enable Us to Predict Redox Reactions


Al

We can now use the tabulated half-reactions to predict whether a given


combination of such reactions, one a reduction as written and one an oxidation and so
written in reverse, can make up a full redox reaction that proceeds spontaneously. There
is a pattern to the way half-reactions cooperate in all spontaneous redox reactions. Let’s
first summarize it and then show how it works.

Page 7

Rule for Combining Reduction Half-Reactions. When two reduction half-
reactions are combined into a full redox reaction, the one with the more positive
E° always runs as written, as a reduction, and it forces the other, with the less
positive E°, to run in reverse, as an oxidation.

To illustrate, suppose we came for the first time to the question, “Will sodium

ly
reacts with chlorine?” Standard reduction potentials of half-reactions can be used to

On
answer a question like this. Let’s take relevant data from the table of standard reduction
potential. The product, NaCl, will be shown not as a solid, NaCl(s), but in solution as

m
separated, hydrated ions, because the data are presented this way.

ea
Na+(aq) + e- Na(s) E° = -2.71 V

tT
Cl2(g) + 2e- 2Cl-(aq) E° = +1.36 V

en
The E° for the reaction of chlorine is more positive than the E° for the reaction of

m
sodium. This tells us that the reaction involving chlorine will proceed as written, as a
reduction, and that the reaction involving sodium is forced to proceed in the opposite
op
direction, as an oxidation. So, let’s rewrite the two half-reactions to reflect these facts.
We have to reverse the reaction for sodium. (We will now use only a forward arrow, not
l
ve

equilibrium arrows. We have already learned how powerfully this reaction proceeds.)
De

Na(s) Na+(aq) + e- (oxidation)


he

Cl2(g) + 2e- 2Cl-(aq) (reduction)


yt

To get the net reaction, we multiply the coefficients of the first half-reaction by 2.
Then the electrons can cancel as we add the two.
db

2Na(s) → 2Na+(aq) + 2e-


te

Cl2(g) + 2e- → 2Cl-(aq)


es

Sum: 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2Na+(aq) + 2Cl-(aq)


aT

This is the equation for the reaction we would predict, using the standard
reduction potentials, between sodium and chloride. We would not predict that Na + and
ph

Cl- ions would spontaneously combine to give sodium metal and chlorine gas.
Al

Analysis

If anything happens, it will be a redox reaction because we are obviously seeing


these two elements in two different oxidation states. So, we can go to the table provided
for help. The relevant half-reactions from the table are:

ly
Cu2+(aq) + 2e- Cu(s) E°= +0.34 V

On
Ag+(aq) + e- Ag(s) E°= +0.80 V

m
The Ag+/Ag system has the more positive reduction potential, so it will run as

ea
written, as a reduction. It will force the Cu2+/Cu system to run in reverse, as an oxidation.

tT
Solution

en
To balance the two half-reactions so that the electrons cancel as we add the two
equations, we have to multiply the Ag+/Ag half-reaction by 2. When the redox reaction
occurs, the two half-reactions will be:
m
op
2Ag+(aq) + 2e- → 2Ag(s) (reduction)
l
Cu(s) → Cu2+(aq) + 2e-
ve

(oxidation)

2Ag+(aq) + Cu(s) → 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq)


De

(net reaction)

This is a pretty reaction. A coil of copper wire is immersed into a solution of silver
he

nitrate, and crystals of silver metal begin to deposit on the coil as copper atoms change
to ions and go into the solution. Given time, the solution acquires the blue color of the
yt

newly formed Cu2+(aq) ion.


db

A reduction potential is like an elevation stated on a road map. Both represents


a difference from a defined zero value-hydrogen reference half-cell for reduction
te

potentials and sea level for elevations.


es

The following mnemonics can help you remember the process that occurs at
aT

each electrode:
ph

RED CAT — REDuction always occurs at the CAThode

AN OX — OXidation always occurs at the ANode


Al

This is the relationship between the predicted cell potential and the spontaneity
of the reaction:

1. Spontaneous reaction – A positive value for the cell potential means that the cell
reaction occurs spontaneously.

2. Reaction at equilibrium – Eventually, the cell potential for an operating cell decreases
to zero.

3. Nonspontaneous reaction – A negative value for the cell potential means that the cell
reaction does not occur spontaneously.

ly
In summary, the rules for analyzing standard cells can be broken down as

On
follows:

1. The cathode is the electrode where the strongest oxidizing agent present in the cell

m

ea
its reduction potential.

tT
2. The anode is the electrode where the strongest reducing agent present in the cell

Even though the two half-reactions are physically separated, a spontaneous redox
