Rust
• Rust is the formation of iron oxides (usually red oxides), formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture.
• Oxidation
![Page 28: 1.5 oxidation and reduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/555d091cd8b42ab2228b4662/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Swimming pools
• The water in swimming pools is kept sterile by the addition of oxidizing agents, chlorine or chlorine compounds, which kill microorganisms by oxidation. The active agent is usually chloric(1) acid (HOCl). It may be formed in two ways
• 1. Direct chlorination of the water: • Cl 2(aq) +H2O (l) HOCl (aq) + Cl−
(aq) + H+ (aq)
• Note that when the Cl2 reacts with the water it is both
oxidized and reduced
![Page 29: 1.5 oxidation and reduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/555d091cd8b42ab2228b4662/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Swimming pools
• 2. The addition of sodium chlorate(I) [sodium hypochlorite]:
• NaOCl (s) + H2O (l) Na+ (aq) + OH−
(aq) + HOCl (aq)
• Nowadays chlorine is not used, mainly on grounds of safety. Pools are sterilized with chlorine compounds, which produce chloric(I) acid when they dissolve in water. These compounds act in essentially the same way as chlorine. Sodium chlorate(I) is one such compound.

Electrolysis
• Chemical reaction caused by the passage of an electric current through a liquid known as the electrolyte
![Page 32: 1.5 oxidation and reduction](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062405/555d091cd8b42ab2228b4662/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Definitions• Electrolyte - liquid in which electrolysis takes place. Usually an ionic solution but it can also be a
fused [melted] ionic compound
• Anode - positive electrode. Positive because the battery sucks electrons out of it• • Cathode. Negative electrode. Negative because the battery pumps electrons into it.• • Anion - negative ion. Called anion because it is attracted to the opposite charge of the anode
• Cation - positive ion. Called cation because it is attracted to the opposite charge of the cathode.
• Inert Electrodes - do not react with the electrolyte Graphite and Pt
• Active electrodes - react with electrolyte e.g. Copper and iron

Copper Plating
Anode reaction
• Cu(s) = Cu2+(aq) + 2e-
• Anode loses mass as copper dissolves off• Impurities [Au, Ag, Pt etc.] fall to bottom
Cathode reaction
• Cu2+(aq) + 2e- = Cu(s)
• Cathode gains mass as Cu is deposited on it• Cu is 99.9% pure

Ionic Movement• During electrolysis of a solution of Copper Chromate in
dil. Hydrochloric acid, positive ions (cations) are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) and negative ions (anions) are attracted to the positive electrode (anode). If these ions are coloured, their movement may be observed visually.
• Examples of coloured ions include; • copper(II) [Cu2+] - blue • chromate(VI) [CrO42- ] – yellow
