Redox reactions

These downloadable resources investigate oxidation states.

The linked resources are adjuncts to the paper 'Redox reduxed: Application of a non-analogous definition for oxidation state' published in the September 2020 issue of ASTA's peer-reviewed Teaching Science journal (i.e., Issue 66.3). The paper, the abstract of which appears in the additional information field, investigates redox reactions and electrochemistry and the downloadable file named 'Appendix B - Redox and Electrochemistry Investigation' gives the details for a student investigation into the subject.

This downloadable resource explores redox reactions in a real-world context.

The worksheet allow students to explore how redox reactions might be used in accelerating the growth of artificial reefs.

Students use the reactivity series of metals to determine possible anodes and cathodes required to set up a reef.

This idea is being explored in Malaysia in order to build reefs to protect marine wildlife.

This worksheet could be used alone, or as part of a unit exploring the applications of chemistry.
