Summary

In this educational video, Ibu Rini explains how to determine oxidation numbers of atoms in compounds, focusing on the rules of oxidation and reduction reactions. She covers the six key rules of oxidation numbers, including how to assign values for elements like hydrogen, oxygen, alkali metals, and halogens in various compounds. Through examples such as H2SO4 and Cr2O72-, the video demonstrates how to calculate oxidation numbers step-by-step. The tutorial aims to help viewers understand the process of assigning oxidation states to atoms in both neutral compounds and ions.

Takeaways

• 😀 The oxidation number of atoms in their elemental form is always 0. Example: O₂, S₈, P₄.
• 😀 In a neutral compound, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms must equal 0.
• 😀 In an ionic compound, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms must equal the charge of the ion.
• 😀 Alkali metals (Group 1A) always have an oxidation number of +1 in compounds.
• 😀 Alkaline earth metals (Group 2A) always have an oxidation number of +2 in compounds.
• 😀 Hydrogen generally has an oxidation number of +1 in compounds, except in hydrides.
• 😀 Oxygen typically has an oxidation number of -2 in compounds, except in peroxides where it's -1.
• 😀 Halogens (Group 7A) usually have an oxidation number of -1 in compounds, except when bonded with oxygen or other halogens.
• 😀 The oxidation number of sulfur (S) in H₂SO₄ is +6, determined through the sum of oxidation numbers.
• 😀 The oxidation number of chromium (Cr) in Cr₂O₇²⁻ is +6, calculated by balancing the charge of the ion.
• 😀 Rules for determining oxidation numbers help in identifying oxidation and reduction in redox reactions.

Q & A

What is oxidation in a redox reaction?

Oxidation is the process in which an atom's oxidation number increases, meaning it loses electrons during a redox reaction.

What is reduction in a redox reaction?

Reduction is the process where an atom's oxidation number decreases, indicating it gains electrons during a redox reaction.

What is the first rule for determining oxidation numbers?

The first rule states that the oxidation number of an atom in a pure element is 0. For example, in O₂, S₈, or P₄, the oxidation number of each atom is 0.

How does the oxidation number apply to neutral compounds?

In neutral compounds, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms equals 0. For example, in CuSO₄, the sum of the oxidation numbers of Cu, S, and O equals 0.

What is the oxidation number rule for alkali metals?

In compounds, alkali metals (Group 1A) always have an oxidation number of +1.

What is the oxidation number rule for alkaline earth metals?

In compounds, alkaline earth metals (Group 2A) always have an oxidation number of +2.

What is the oxidation number of hydrogen in most compounds?

In most compounds, hydrogen (H) has an oxidation number of +1.

What is the oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds?

In most compounds, oxygen (O) has an oxidation number of -2, except in peroxides where it is -1.

How do you determine the oxidation number of sulfur in H₂SO₄?

In H₂SO₄, the oxidation number of hydrogen is +1 and oxygen is -2. Since the compound is neutral, the sum of all oxidation numbers must be 0. Using the equation 2(+1) + x + 4(-2) = 0, the oxidation number of sulfur (S) is +6.

What is the oxidation number of chromium in Cr₂O₇²⁻?

In Cr₂O₇²⁻, the oxidation number of oxygen is -2. The total charge on the ion is -2. Using the equation 2x + 7(-2) = -2, the oxidation number of chromium (Cr) is +6.
