Where does oxidation and reduction take place in the reaction of Br2 + 2I- → 2Br + I2

1 answer:

5 0

Okay, let's look at the oxidation number of each substance.
-Br2 has an oxidation number of 0 because it is in a stable form.
- I- has a -1 charge and thus has an oxidation number of -1.
- 2Br- has a -1 charge also
- I2 has an oxidation number of 0 as well.

Bromine goes from 0 to -1 and Iodine goes from -1 to 0.
Therefore, Bromine is having an electron added whilst Iodine is having an electron removed.

Oxidation is Loss of electrons so Iodine is being oxidised, Reduction is Gain of electrons so Bromine is being reduced.

What is the difference between an enthalpy driven reaction and entropy driven reaction?

Crazy boy [7]

<span>Enthalpy is regarding the amount of heat that is given off or taken in during the process of a reaction, while entropy is about the disorderliness of a reaction.
Both are related in the equation ∆G=∆H-T∆S, where ∆G is the Gibbs free energy. So we can say that a reaction is both enthalpy and entropy driven. It's like, both of them are interlinked with each other. </span>
