HOW ARE REDOX REACTIONS DIFFERENT? Redox is the term used to label reactions in which the acceptance of an electron (reduction) by a material is matched with the donation of an electron (oxidation). A large number of the reactions already mentioned in the Reactions chapter are redox reactions. Synthesis reactions are also redox reactions if there is an exchange of electrons to make an ionic bond. If chlorine gas is added to sodium metal to make sodium chloride‚ the sodium has donated an electron

Rate of Reaction Introduction Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2)‚ is the most simple peroxide and commonly used in several household items such as toothpaste or as an alternative to bleach. However hydrogen peroxide it is a very dangerous substance when accumulated in large amounts. If that situation occurs this substance must be decomposed. But how can we decompose this reaction? Well it decomposes by itself very slowly (2H2O2(aq) -> 2H2O(l) + O2(g))‚ but that would take too long. This reaction can be sped

This report will overview the redox reaction - cellular respiration: C5H12O6 + 02 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy and it’s use with the human body. Cellular respiration is a chemical process providing the body with usable and fast source of energy in the form of ATP. Along with ATP cellular respiration also produces CO2‚ H2O and Heat. This is an organic redox reaction. Redox reactions Redox reaction occur when there is a movement of electrons between atoms. Part of a redox reaction include: Oxidising Agent:

Design Research question: This should be a clear focused question that says exactly what you are investigating. It shouldn’t be too long and it must include the dependent and independent variables. Eg. What is the effect of pH on the activity rate of salivary amylase? Dependent variable: activity rate Independent variable: pH Hypothesis: This is a paragraph or two where you explain your research question. You are going to say something like: "Salivary Amylase is a an enzyme that digests

Chemistry SL Internal Assessment: Enthalpy Change Design Lab Experiment: Reaction of distilled water and solid sodium hydroxide RESEARCH QUESTION How does the heat released during the reaction between distilled water and Group 1 elements (lithium‚ sodium and potassium) vary as one goes down the group? OBJECTIVE The objective of the experiment is to measure the heat change during the reactions with minimal heat loss to the surroundings. MATERIALS The materials to be used in this experiment

equations for redox reactions You can split the ionic equation into two parts‚ and look at it from the point of view of the magnesium and of the copper(II) ions separately. This shows clearly that the magnesium has lost two electrons‚ and the copper(II) ions have gained them. These two equations are described as "electron-half-equations" or "half-equations" or "ionic-half-equations" or "half-reactions" - lots of variations all meaning exactly the same thing! Any redox reaction is made up

pennies with redox reactions Introduction: The understanding of oxidation and reduction must be clear to carry out this lab. With the understanding of these concepts we can calculate or hypothesize for the properties of each element or compound. Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine

Determination of Fe by Redox Titration Matt Cuff Quant 320L October 21‚ 2011 Abstract In this experiment the percent of iron in an unknown sample will be determined by using a redox titration and then compared to a different method. A primary standard which in this case is ferrous ammonium sulfate will be used to standardize potassium dichromate. The standardized potassium dichromate will then be used to titrate the unknown iron sample using the indicator p-diphenylamine sulfonate.

Beverly Hearst IB SL Physics Rate of Vaporization Design Lab Research Question: How does changing the surface area of a sample of water affect the time taken for the water to boil? Background: By changing the containers of the water‚ the surface area of the water is thus being modified as the same volume of water is spread out over smaller or larger surfaces. The measure being compared is the time each sample of water will take before it reaches the boiling point‚ 100 C°. The relationship

Report of redox titration--- Iodine titrated against sodium thiosulphate Objectives The objective of this experiment is to balance the equation for the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and iodine. Principle As the reaction between sodium thiosulphate and iodine is a redox reaction‚ so I make use of this to perform a redox titration‚ iodine titrated against sodium thiosulphate. From the experimental result‚ I can find out the number of mole of the two substances‚ hence I can calculate
