Chem Catalyst Determine what is being oxidized and what is being reduced in the following reaction: CuO + H2 Cu + H2O
Today’s Agenda: • Do Now • Notes- Writing half reactions • HW: Practice Worksheet
Half Reactions: • Show only oxidation or reduction • Include electrons gained or lost to balance charges • Losing electrons (oxidation): electrons appear as a product • Gaining electrons (reduction): electrons appear as a reactant
Half Reactions: • Add electrons to the following half reactions. Al Al3+ S2- S Cl Cl- Sr Sr2+
Voltaic cell • Consists of 2 half-reactions • Cathode: where reduction occurs (RED CAT) • Anode: where oxidation occurs • Electrons flow from anode to cathode (electric current)
Cu/Zn Redox Reaction • Occurs spontaneously • E- flow from Zn to Cu • This flow of electrons creates an electrical current • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7fS1QofMqI
Voltaic Cell Summary: • Electrons are given off when zinc is oxidized (anode) • E- pass through wire to copper • Copper is reduced (cathode) • Ions move across salt bridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNG5PMlHSoA&feature=related
