1A. What is an oxidation-reduction reaction? What are the two half reactions of an
oxidation-reduction reaction? (5 pts)
- Oxidation-reduction reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the transfer of
electrons between two species. The oxidation states of atoms are changed. (2.5 pts)
- The two half reactions of an oxidation-reduction reaction are oxidation and reduction:
- Oxidation: A loss of electrons by a species (an increase of oxidation number of an
atom)
- Reduction: A gain of electrons by a species (a decrease of oxidation number of an
atom) (2.5 pts)
1B. In a redox reaction, what are the oxidizing agent and reducing agent? (5 pts)
- An oxidizing agent is a substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons;
therefore, it gets reduced. (2.5 pts)
- A reducing agent is a substance that causes reduction by losing electrons; therefore it
gets oxidized. (2.5 pts)
