Do Now

  1. Describe Oxidation and Reduction in terms of oxygen transfer with an example.
    • Oxidation is the gain of oxygen, while reduction is the loss of oxygen. This is apparent in the rusting of iron, where iron becomes iron oxide due to oxidation. In terms of reduction, carbon monoxide reduces the iron oxide in order to become iron metal again.
  2. Balance the following equations.
      • (synthesis reaction)
      • (synthesis reaction)
  3. In displacement reactions, one element replaces another in a compound. (More reactive replaces less reactive.)

Reverse Displacement Reactions

  • If the products of () were to react, there would be NO REACTION.
