Calculate the oxidation number of any or each element in a compound
Answer conceptual questions requiring understanding of oxidation and reduction
Determine whether or not some given reaction is redox
Write balanced half-equations for redox reactions
Use the half-equation method to write balanced ionic equations for redox reactions (as Assignment 1 q2)
Determine, for some redox reaction, the following: the oxidised species, the reduced species, the oxidising agent and the reducing agent.
Use the electrochemical series to predict whether two given species will react
Draw complete diagrams of galvanic (voltaic) cells, showing the flow of electrons, the anode and cathode, the flow of positive and negative ions in the salt bridge, and the half-equation for each half-cell.
Answer questions requiring understanding how electrochemical cells (including both galvanic (voltaic) cells and electrolytic cells) work (including the need for a salt bridge in galvanic cells and inert electrodes in electrolytic cells) and what they are used for.
Draw complete diagrams of electrolytic cells, showing the flow of electrons, the anode and cathode, and the two half reactions.
Predict the products of electrolysis in a given aqueous or molten electrolyte.
