Redox Chemistry

Resort with higher affinity, reduction potentials and signs and etc Post up a chart of the reduction potentials/link

You take a bite of an apple, it has a certain color (green/yellow). You leave the apple out, the color changes (orange/brown).

Redox Chemistry

Function/Purpose:

• Describes certain reactions in chemistry that deal with transfer of electrions

Overall Reactions:

Reduction:
Inorganic Perspective:

• gaining an electron
• reduction in oxidation state

Organic Perspective

• gaining an H

Oxidation:
Inorganic Perspective

• losing an electron
• gaining in oxidation state

Organic Perspective

• gaining an O or double bonded O

THINK LEO GER: Loss of Electrons Oxidation Gain of Electrons Reduction

Chemical Perspective:

Oxidizer/Oxidants/Oxidizing Agent

• Chemical that undergoes reduction but induces oxidation from other compounds
• Electron acceptor

THINK Acid Base Chemistry - Lewis Acids are electron acceptors
THINK Organic Chemistry - Tollens Monosaccharide Oxidation, PCC, Ozone = Oxidizing Agent
THINK Agent OX: It sounds like the name of an enformcer in gang

• Enforcers aren't utilized to give things away but rather to TAKE
• Sounds like an assertive brute that forces other to LOSE(reduce/OXIDATION themseles) just so it GAINS(gains/REDUCTION from onself)
• It asserts donations from others that it gladly accepts

Reducer/Reductants/Reducing Agent

• Chemical that undergoes oxidation but induces reduction from other compounds
• Electron donor

THINK Acid Base Chemistry - Lewis Bases are electron donors
THINK Organic Chemistry LAH,NaBH4,Lindlar's, Wolff Kishner, Clemmensen = Reducing Agent
THINK Agent Red-for the Product (Red): Function to AIDS

• This idea is gives away for others to gain (AIDS Research)
• It is a product that looses its profit(oxidzes its profit) to be used as a donation to the AIDs research(reduces research)
• Meaning it is a charitable idea that benefits others to GAIN(gain/REDUCTION) through its own LOSS(reduce/OXIDATON) of profit

Concepts:

• Oxidation States
