RedOx Titration A volumetric analysis
RedOx Titration A volumetric analysis
based on a chemical reaction where there is a transfer of electrons from the reducing agent to the oxidizing agent.
Unlike Acid-Base titration which tracks the movement of protons, RedOx titration tracks the movement of electrons, resulting in a change in the oxidation state (valence number) of the reacting species.
Core Principle
Core Principle
The Fundamental Principle: The "Electron Balance Sheet"
Oxidation: The process of losing electrons (Increase in oxidation number).
Reduction: The process of gaining electrons (Decrease in oxidation number).
OIL RIG: Oxidation Is Loss; Reduction Is Gain.
LEORA: Loss of Electrons is Oxidation; it is a Reducing Agent
GEROA: Gain of Electrons is Reduction; it is an Oxidizing Agent
