Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Which thing gets oxidized, the oxidizing agent? No wait, that's what gets reduced, or is it the reducing agent? Ahh! Stupid binary concepts! OK, settle down. Watch this clip and learn everything you need to know about electron transfer.

Thank you for not being like other Chem professors who pretend these particular reactions are so simple. The language itself is confusing and the Chem Department doesn't try to simplify despite the the thousands we pay them to TEACH US! THANK YOU!

yes i have noticed that too, when i went to embry riddle the teachers there helped us out. but now at an a&m univeristy, i feel most of the time i have to hunt and peck to find my answers.
I am 10 min away from a test and I just learned the last thing I needed to know 😭 thank you so much!!!

i have no words to express sir other channels online put vids of 10 hours and show hundreds of reactions but dont even explain a single one properly i was frustrated with this thanx a lot for making it simpler
1 week of lecture taught in 4 minutes
Prof Dave rocks. Your explanations are very simple and direct. Thumbs up for making life easier for me
Thanks again Professor Dave. You explain chemistry well, and concisely too - two reasons why I subscribed! :D Keep it up.
I’ve been learning from your videos since quite a few months now, lets just say you’re a hero.
There is a mnemonic: OIL RIG. OIL- "Oxidation Is Loosing (electrons)" and RIG- "Reduction Is Gaining".

LEO and GER are also great (Lose Electrons Oxidation) (Gain Electrons Reduce)
BRILLIANTLY explained Professor David.. not easy for sure to be untrained mind, but with repeated viewing of this short 3 min 51 second clip.. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND & know how to recognize the Oxidation and Reduction in terms of change of charge + recognizing the Agents by seeing what happens to it originally 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi Professor Dave! I love your checking comprehension section at the end!
Thanks 😆😆you really made me understand chemistry finally !! Since I was in high school I felt like I will never understand chemistry and thanks again I get good grades in my exam because of you 🌚✌🏼
Okay my man you are better than my teacher, this has summed everything I've done for months without understanding
I was really confused by watching other videos finally I came to watch ur video I'm really thankful sir🤩
There is one other time that oxygen has a oxidation state other than (-2) and that's in OF₂, where it has a (terrifying) charge of (+2). Your videos are awesome, btw. You teach a lot like I do, skipping a lot of the BS and half-assing that a lot of general chemistry courses use.
Thanks Professor Davis!!! Sending appreciation all the way from California!!!!
Thank you Dave for the GREAT free content!
I wish you had a video over every single topic out there. When I search something on youtube and finally your video comes up, ik my search is over

This video was so resourceful .Thank you so much .Everything was explained so easily.
this guy has taught me oxidation and reduction reactions within 3 mins whilst my teachers couldn't do it with hours and days teaching me some boring ass textbook work that didn't help me one bit, it just goes to show that if you want to learn something you have to go out and learn it yourself
Thank you sooo much sir, u r helping a lot in my 2 years preparation
THANK U SO MUCH. U JUST SAVED MY LIFE FOR MY CHEM MIDTERM!!!!!
Thank You SOOO SOOO Much, you don't know how much of a LEGEND you are!!! I've been looking for a simple and straightforward explanation to recap what I had learnt and you finally helped me out. I don't know why I didn't watch your video earlier. But now I've subbed you so I will always remember to watch your videos for help :)

A BIG thanks from Texas. thanks you sooooo much.
thank you for explaining this, it has taken me so long to figure these problems out

In the checking comprehension exercise, on the last exercise... Al2(SO4)3 You assigned +3 to Al2, +6 to S and -2 to O. Would it be possible to assign 8 to S and keep Al as 0? If not, why not?
@user-kb3qw4jf4d
Ай бұрын
While assigning oxidation states (OS) of +8 to sulfur (S) and 0 to aluminum (Al) in Al2(SO4)3 might seem mathematically possible, it deviates from established principles for two key reasons: Charge Neutrality: Al2(SO4)3 is a neutral molecule, meaning the sum of its oxidation states must equal zero. Since each sulfate ion (SO4) carries a -2 charge (-2 x 3 = -6 for three sulfate ions), aluminum collectively must have an oxidation state of +6 to balance this negative charge. Assigning +0 to Al would violate this principle. Typical Oxidation States: Sulfur's common oxidation states range from -2 to +6. In Al2(SO4)3, sulfur shares electrons with oxygen in the sulfate ion. Based on these electron sharing patterns, a +6 oxidation state for sulfur is more realistic. Aluminum, on the other hand, almost exclusively exhibits a +3 oxidation state in ionic compounds due to its tendency to lose its three valence electrons for stability. Therefore, assigning +3 to Al and +6 to S adheres to both the charge neutrality requirement and the established oxidation state behaviors of these elements within Al2(SO4)3. Sorry if my explanation was a bit long 😅😅
Thank you very much professor Dave you just break everything down for me to my understand❤❤ I'm so grateful
Thank you so much for this video it really helped on my homework!!!!
Thanks a million, Professor Dave, from Ireland!
You are a good teacher Dr. Dave. Thank you.

I feel like these videos are entertaining enough that I'd actually go out of my way to watch them, not just when I'm struggling to complete the chemistry project that's due tomorrow. It's like Game Theory, but without the games.

great video! thank you

also if you have a glass batch containing antimony acting as the redux chem in glass it is a "sweeper" creating oxygen which rises to the top of the pot "grabbing" all other bubbles including any oxygen to be reabsorbed putting the glass into reduction......

when redox is really something.
(press pause for more time) makes me smile every time ^__^
Two things: 1) Is the idea of an element being reduced by gaining electrons essentially like adding a negative number in algebra? So, if the starting number is 10 and -2 is added, then 10 is reduced to 8 because it "gained" -2. Yes/No? 2) Are oxidation eductions typically covalent or ionic bonds? Or can it be either one depending on the circumstance? Thanks Prof. Dave & mates!
Very succinct and helpful
Your cartoon in start is very funny I enjoyed😂 well done . Good explanation . God bless u
Much clearer than the CrashCourse video, geess
nicely explained ! thank u so much! 🙌i thought as if my brain cells were leaving me (coz of my chem prof's "teaching skills")...but now am ok...
Great video. Thanks.

How fructose 1-5 biphosphate change to 2 glyceraldehyde 3phosphate molecules ?
Thank you so muchhhhh❤.
in the last compound in the assigning oxidation set, why does 'S' in (SO4)3 get an oxidation number of 6? Why wouldn't it be 2-?
Finally. I understand now 😂😂This is the ONE concept I absolutely could. not. grasp. in high school chemistry. 25 years ago. i just gave away my age but so what. Fortunately I passed and the Universe decided I should not despise chemistry after all =)
Thank you so much ❤😭
Best teacher on youtube by a mile
What is the spectator ion in the first equation? Please help
at 2:52 why are the reactants both zero and the products their respective charges even though all of those are just single elements?
In the final comprehension question, is there anyway to know that SO4 has a net charge of -2 without looking up Sulphur on the table? Or is that ultimately inferred from the fact that there are 2 Als and 3 SO4s? Question for Dave or anyone. Also, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! Thanks for the vids.

how to decide whether a compound is neutral ?
Is it possibly that reducing agent or oxidizing agent can be on the other side ( Product ) ?

At 3:08 - when we are testing checking comprehension, why do you use +4 for the charge of Pb with PbO2? Isn't 2 the more common one?
@ProfessorDaveExplains
6 жыл бұрын
but oxygen is 2-, and there are two of them, so lead must be +4! ions come together in ratios to give neutral compounds.
Why is it important to determine how many oxidation states an element has; what conclusions does it tell?
