Course: Oxidation - Reduction (NCEA L3 Chemistry)
Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed
When:
Term 1
Subject Area(s)
Chemistry
NCEA L3
Redox reactions are characterized by the transfer of electrons between chemical species.
Participants will develop knowledge of the appearance and state of reactants and their products. The principles of electrochemical and galvanic cells will be studied along with the use of electrode potentials to identify the relative strength of oxidants and reductants.
Requirements
Preferably have achieved Level 2 NCEA, A.S 91167 but not essential. Access to the laboratory and chemical to observe redox reactions and colour changes would be ideal but again this is not essential.
Assessment
Level 3 NCEA , achievement standard, 91393 worth 3 credits. This is a closed book , internally assessed standard.
