This chapter explores the meaning of the terms “oxidation” and “reduction”. It presents the concept of electrochemistry to make clear the relationships among redox reactions and what happens in electrochemical cells. The chapter describes the balancing of redox equations. It presents the understanding and using of standard reduction potentials. The chapter discusses Nernst equation and explains the determination of equilibrium constants from standard reduction potentials. An oxidation-reduction reaction can be thought of as the sum of two half reactions. Each ion-electron equation includes both the oxidized form and the reduced form of the same species. Therefore, a complete redox equation contains at least two oxidants, the electron acceptors and two reductants, the electron donors. |
