OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to:

1. Define reduction-oxidation reaction in terms of loss and gains of
electrons;(STEM_GC11AB-IVf-g-169)
2. Balance a redox reaction using the change in oxidation number
method; (STEM_GC11AB-IVf-g-17) and
3. Recognize the importance of redox reaction in everyday life.
ACTIVITY:
• ). For each of the following chemical equation, calculate the oxidation numbers f or each element in the
compound. Remember to utilize your periodic table and guide for finding oxidation number.

Cu(s) + HNO3(aqa0  Cu (NO3)2(aq) + H2(g)

 
2). Determine which species is oxidized and which species is
reduced in the following chemical equation.
  a) Oxidized atom loss electron.
b) reduced atom gain electron.
C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6 H2O

 ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Electrochemistry is defined as the branch of chemistry that

examines the phenomena resulting from combined chemical
and electrical effects. Reactions involving the reactant –the
electron.

Chemical changes caused by the passage of current

 OXIDATION AND REDUCTION
• Oxidation-reduction reactions are also known as redox
reactions
• Def: Redox reactions describe all chemical reactions in which
there is a net change in atomic charge
• It is a class of reactions that include:
– formation of a compound from its elements
– all combustion reactions
– reactions that generate electricity
– reactions that produce cellular energy

 OXIDATION AND REDUCTION
Oxidation
- Involves the loss of an electron
- Involves the transfer of electrons from the species to the electrode

Reduction
-Involves the gain of an electron
-Involves the transfer of electrons from the electrode to the species

Reducing agent since it cause something else to be reduced.

Oxidizing the substance that are reduced cause something.
