Define oxidation and reduction.
Remember the acronym OIL RIG.
What is the reducing agent in the reaction: Cu²⁺ + Zn → Zn²⁺ + Cu?
Think about what loses electrons in the reaction.
What does the acronym OIL RIG stand for?
Think about the definitions of the two processes.
True or false: In a redox reaction, oxidation and reduction occur independently.
Consider how electrons are transferred in these reactions.
Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution: H₂O₂ + I⁻ → O₂ + I₂.
Separate into half-equations and balance each side for atoms and charge.
Explain how you would approach balancing redox reactions in acidic vs basic solution.
Remember the additional step unique to basic solutions.
