Classify each of the following unbalanced half-reactions as either an oxidation or a reduction. (b) Pt2+ (aq) → Pt(s)

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the oxidation states of platinum in both the reactant and the product. In the reactant, Pt has an oxidation state of +2, and in the product, Pt is in its elemental form, which has an oxidation state of 0.
Compare the oxidation states of platinum in the reactant and the product. The oxidation state decreases from +2 in the reactant to 0 in the product.
Recall the definition of reduction and oxidation in terms of oxidation states. Reduction involves a decrease in oxidation state, while oxidation involves an increase.
Apply the definitions to the reaction. Since the oxidation state of platinum decreases, this indicates a gain of electrons.
Conclude that the half-reaction Pt2+ (aq) → Pt(s) is a reduction process because it involves a decrease in oxidation state, indicating a gain of electrons.

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Oxidation and Reduction

Oxidation and reduction are chemical processes that involve the transfer of electrons between species. Oxidation refers to the loss of electrons, resulting in an increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves the gain of electrons, leading to a decrease in oxidation state. These processes are always coupled, meaning that when one species is oxidized, another must be reduced.

Oxidation and Reduction Reactions

Half-Reactions

Half-reactions are equations that show either the oxidation or reduction process separately. They are useful for balancing redox reactions and understanding the electron transfer involved. Each half-reaction includes the species undergoing oxidation or reduction, along with the electrons gained or lost, allowing for a clearer analysis of the overall reaction.

Identifying Oxidation States

Identifying oxidation states is crucial for determining whether a half-reaction is an oxidation or reduction. The oxidation state of an element in a compound indicates its degree of oxidation. In the given half-reaction, Pt<sup>2+</sup> has a +2 oxidation state, while solid Pt has an oxidation state of 0, indicating that Pt<sup>2+</sup> is being reduced to Pt(s) by gaining electrons.

교과서 질문

Porous pellets of TiO2 can be reduced to titanium metal at the cathode of an electrochemical cell containing molten CaCl2 as the electrolyte. When the TiO2 is reduced, the O2-ions dis-solve in the CaCl2 and are subsequently oxidized to O2 gas at the anode. This approach may be the basis for a less expensive process than the one currently used for producing titanium.

(c) Write balanced equations for the anode, cathode, and overall cell reactions.
