Redox
when in a chemical reaction oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously than such reaction is called a redox reaction
1 of 17
when does oxidation take place?
1) gain of oxygen 2) loss of hydrogen 3) loss of electron
2 of 17
when does reduction take place?
1) loss of oxygen 2) gain of hydrogen 3) loss of electron
3 of 17
oxidation
increase in oxidation state or positive charge
4 of 17
reduction
decrease in oxidation state or positive charge
5 of 17
oxidising agent
a substance that oxides others and reduces itslef
6 of 17
examples of oxidising agents?
1) some reducing non metals: CL2, O2 2) acidified KMnO4 (potassium manganate) 3)acidified K2CR2O7 (potassium dichromate)

reducing agent
a substance that reduces others and oxidises itself
8 of 17
examples of reducing agents?
1) reactive metals: Na, Ca, K 2) KI (potassium iodide) 3) some non-metals: CO,C, H2
9 of 17
how to test for reducing agent?
1) add KMno4: its color changes from purple to colorless 2) add K2CR2O7: its color changes from orange to green

how to test for oxidising agent?
1) add KI: its color changes from colorless to brown
11 of 17
tests
these color changes indicate that the agents are present
