Self Assessment Checklist
| Redox – Oxidation and Reduction | I can do this! | |
| (a) | Define oxidation in terms of gain of oxygen, loss of hydrogen and loss of electrons. | |
| (b) | Define reduction in terms of loss of oxygen, gain of hydrogen and gain of electrons. | |
| (c) | Define oxidation as an increase in oxidation state. | |
| (d) | Define reduction as a decrease in oxidation state. | |
| (e) | Identify redox reactions in terms of oxygen/hydrogen gain/loss, electron gain/loss and changes in oxidation state | |
| (f) | Identify chemical reactions that are not redox reactions – neutralisation and precipitation reactions. | |
| (g) | Define an oxidising agent. | |
| (h) | Define a reducing agent. | |
| (i) | Describe the use of aqueous potassium iodide to test for the presence of an oxidising agent from the resulting colour change. | |
| (j) | Describe the use of acidified potassium manganate (VII) to test for the presence of a reducing agent from the resulting colour change. |
