4 x 1 hour lessons

This module builds on redox concepts with a focus on quantitative applications and transition metal chemistry. You’ll carry out redox titration calculations and explore how transition metal ions behave as variable oxidation state species and catalysts.

By the end of this module you will be able to: • write and balance half-equations for redox processes • carry out full redox titration calculations involving manganate(VII) and dichromate(VI) • describe the role of transition metals as heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts

• describe redox reactions involving transition metal ions • explain redox behaviour of transition metal ions in different oxidation states • predict and explain observations in redox reactions involving transition metals • interpret titration data to determine concentration or formulae
