Chapter 14 Fundamentals of Electrochemistry

Oxidation/Reduction Reactions Reactions in which electrons are transferred from one reactant to another. Example I-1 Cu2+ + Zn (s) Cu (s) + Zn2+ Cu2+ has undergone reduction and is reduced. Oxidizing reagent: Cu2+. Reducing agent: Zn. Zn has undergone oxidation and is oxidized. .
