REDOX REACTIONS
OiL
RiG
Oxidation is Losing electrons
(becomes more positive)
Reduction is Gaining electrons
(becomes less positive)
more positive (Lost e-s)
0
2+
Cu(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
1+
Less positive (Gained e-s) 0
Put in charges and look at changes
Cu is oxidized from 0 to 2+
Ag1+ is reduced from 1+ to 0
Cu is the reducing agent and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent
