Chapter 20 Worksheet Redox
I. Determine what is oxidized and what is reduced in each reaction. Identify the oxidizing
agent and the reducing agent, also.
1. 2Sr + O2 2SrO
2. 2Li + S Li2S
4. 3Mg + N2 Mg3N2
7. Si + 2F2 SiF4
8. 2Ca + O2 2CaO
9. Mg + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2
13. Use the changes in oxidation numbers to determine which elements are oxidized and which
are reduced in these reactions. (Note: it is not necessary to use balanced equations)
a. C + H2SO4 CO2 + SO2 + H2O
b. HNO3 + HI NO + I2 + H2O
14. For each reaction in problem 13, identify the oxidizing agent and reducing agent.
15. Write half-reactions for the oxidation and reduction process for each of the following.
a. Fe2+ + MnO4- Fe3+ + Mn2+
c. S2- + NO3- S + NO
16. Complete and balance each reaction using the half-reaction method.
a. Fe2+ + MnO4- Fe3+ + Mn2+
c. S2- + NO3- S + NO
