Document Summary

Chem 1062 lecture #29 electricity and reduction-oxidation reactions. Terms: coloumb: unit of charge, the amount of charge associated with 6. 242*1018 electrons, one electron has a charge of 1. 602*10-19 coloumb (c, voltage difference: (# joules of energy drop)/(# of coloumbs transferred) a. Fe(s) + cu2+ (aq) fe2+ (aq) + cu (s) Fe (s) and fe2+ (aq) are the oxidation reaction. Cu2+ (aq) and cu (s) are the reduction reaction. In reactions like these oxidation and reduction must occur simultaneously for the conservation of energy and electrons. Depict the reduction oxidation reaction as only one (either reduction or oxidation) Half reactions explicitly involve electrons (e-), but don"t specify source or. Cu2+(aq) + 2e- cu (s) destination of electrons. Can place a salt bridge (usually kcl) between two separate solutions. In the reaction: zn (s) + cu2+(aq) zn2+(aq) + cu (s) One solution of zn oxidizing to zn2+ Other solution of cu2+ reducing to cu (s)
