Revision for CCT: Redox

Guys, here's a website that will help you revise your REDOX:

http://www.chemguide.co.uk/inorganic/redoxmenu.html

These are the things you must be able to do after going through the website:

- Define Redox in terms of electron transfer and changes in oxidation state.
- Identify O.S. of a particular ELEMENT in a substance, e.g. What is Cl's O.S. in HOCl?
- Identify a redox reaction, the reducing agent and oxidising agent.
- Write half equations.
- Combine half equations to get ionic equations.

A whole list of practice problems can be found in this website:
