Redox Reactions: Crash Course Chemistry
All the magic that we know is in the transfer of electrons. Reduction (gaining electrons) and oxidation (the loss of electrons) combine to form Redox chemistry, which contains the majority of chemical reactions. As electrons jump from...

Redox Reactions
In this video Paul Andersen explains how redox reactions are driven by the movement of electrons from the substance that is oxidized to the substance that is reduced. Oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gaining of...

Why do candles burn?
Paul Andersen explains how paraffin vapor combusts in a candle. He also describes energy and mass conversion and almost burns himself.

Rusting Nails
We investigate the conditions needed for rust to form. Four iron nails are placed under different conditions. One is half submerged in water. Another is completely submerged in boiled water. One is half submerged in salt water. The final...

Dry Ice and Magnesium
We use magnesium and blocks of dry ice to show how a redox reaction occurs. A cavity in a block of dry ice is filled with coils of magnesium ribbon, which are set alight. A second block is then placed on top, but instead of this putting...

Extracting Lead
We discover how to extract lead from lead(II) oxide. We mix lead(II) oxide with charcoal powder and then heat the mixture using a Bunsen burner. It glows bright red as a reaction occurs and after a few minutes we are left with pure lead....

Redox Reactions
For centuries, humans have been extracting metals from molten ores. Today, the basic technique remains the same, but how does extraction work? Chemistry - Reactions - Learning Points. Metals can be extracted from rocks if they are heated...

What Are Redox Reactions? (Oxygen Exchange)
Learn the basics about the exchange of oxygen in oxidation-reduction reactions (REDOX) when learning about chemical reactions. In a chemical reaction, oxidation is oxygen GAIN and reduction is oxygen LOSS. A good example of oxidation is...

What Is The Electrochemical Series
Different combinations of metals produce different voltages and this depends on how strongly the metal could force its electrons to move across a cell. The electrochemical series is a list of metals and other substances arranged in rank...

Electrolysis of Water & Hydrochloric Acid
The discovery that passing an electric current through water would split it apart was made quite soon after the discovery of current electricity itself. This predates Michael Faraday’s work in this area, but it is he who introduced most...
