Oxidation Reduction Reactions (Redox Reactions) and Electrochemistry
Journal
1. If solid zinc is added to Copper (II) Chloride, write the equation for the reaction that will happen. (hint: Zinc forms a 2+ ion)
2. Write the oxidation numbers for the elements on each side of the equation.
3. What element is oxidized?
4. What element is reduced?
Watch the videos below for good tutorials on identifying elements that are oxidized and reduced in an oxidation/reduction reaction.
