not. Why might the practice of green chemistry suggest using a nonstoichometric
ratio of reactants in such a case?
- Given the reaction 2H 2 + O 2 → 2H 2 O, identify which species is oxidized, which is
reduced, which is the oxidizing agent, and which is the reducing agent. - Given the reaction that occurs when a direct electrical current is passed through
liquid ionic NaCl, 2Na
- 2Cl
-
→ 2Na + Cl 2 , identify which species is oxidized and
which is reduced. Justify the answer.
- Identify which reactions given in Section 4.6 are oxidation-reduction reactions.
