Electrochemicalprocesses are redox reactions in which:
•energy released by a spontaneous reaction is converted to electricity
•electrical energy is used to cause a nonspontaneous reaction

3. A. Oxidation number/state
•Free elements have an oxidation number (ON) =0
•Monatomic ions, the ON is equal to the charge on the ion.
•The ON of oxygen isusually –2. In H

•The ON of hydrogen is +1exceptwhen it is bonded to metals in
binary compounds. In these cases, its oxidation number is –1.
•Fluorine is always –1, Group IA metals are +1, IIA metals are +2
in compounds.
•The sum of the ON of all the atoms in a molecule or ion is equal to
the charge on the molecule or ion.

8. Summary of balancing redox reaction in acidicsolutions
1. Divide reaction into two incomplete half-reactions
2. Balance each half-reaction by doing the following:
a. Balance all elements, except O and H
b. Balance O by adding H
2O
c. Balance H by adding H+
d. Balance charge by adding e
–
as needed
3. If the electrons in one half-reaction do not balance those in the
other, then multiply each half-reaction to get a common multiple
4. The overall reaction is the sum of the half-reactions
5. The oxidation half-reaction is the one that produces electrons as
products, and the reduction half-reaction is the one that uses
electrons as reactants

9. Summary of balancing redox reaction in basicsolutions
Steps 1-3 are the same as the reaction in acidic solution
4. Since we are under basic conditions, we neutralize any H

ions
in solution by adding an equal number of OH
