Oxidation-Reduction Reactions

1
Oxidation and Reduction

An oxidation-reduction reaction

• provides us with energy from food.


• provides electrical energy in
batteries.
• occurs when iron rusts.

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) 2Fe2O3(s)

2
Electron Loss and Gain

An oxidation-reduction reaction
• transfers electrons from one reactant to another.

• loses electrons in oxidation. (LEO)

Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e- (loss of


electrons)

• gains electrons in reduction. (GER)


Cu2+(aq) + 2e- Cu(s) (gain of
electrons)

Zn and Cu2+

Zn(s) Zn2+(aq) + 2e- oxidation


Silvery metal

Cu2+(aq) + 2e- Cu(s) reduction

Electron Transfer from Zn to Cu2+

Oxidation: electron loss

Reduction: electron gain
