a. A redox reaction involves the transfer of atoms/electrons). b. Reduction is c. of electrons; oxidation is (A couple of common mnemonics are LEO-GER and OIL-RIG.) (protons/H of electrons. d. To keep track of the transfer of electrons, oxidation states are assigned to elements in a redox reaction. e. When an element undergoes reduction, its oxidations state (increases/decreases); when an element undergoes oxidation, its oxidation state (increases/decreases). f. For simplicity's sake, we'll mostly deal with monoatomic ions in this handout. Redox of course is not limited to such ions, to review the rules of assigning oxidation states to an element in any substance, see the appended Rules of Oxidation State Assignment handout.

What is electrochemistry? What are redox reactions? Explain the difference between a galvanic and an electrolytic cell.
In theory, most metals should easily corrode in air. Why? A group of metals called the noble metals are relatively difficult to corrode in air. Some noble metals include gold, platinum, and silver. Reference Table 17-1 to come up with a possible reason why the noble metals are relatively difficult to corrode.

In some old European churches, the stained-glass windowshave so darkened from corrosion and age that hardly anylight comes through. Microprobe analysis showed that tinycracks anddefects on the glass surface were enriched ininsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds. From AppendixE, suggest a reducing agent and conditions that might successfullyconvert thesecompounds to soluble Mn(II) withoutsimultaneously reducing Fe(III) (which gives the glassits colors) to Fe(II). Take MnO2 as representative of theinsoluble Mn(III) and Mn(IV) compounds.
