KEY TO PRE-LAB OF EXPERIMENT 3 REDOX TITRATION WITH KMnO

1A. What an oxidation-reduction reaction? What are the two half reactions of an is
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)

a) the bottom of the meniscus
b) the top of the meniscus (2.5 pts)
c) either at the bottom or the top of the meniscus
d) all of the above
4. Consider the following equation between iron and oxygen:
4 Fe + 3 O
