Oxidation-Reduction Reactions: Basic Concepts
This course is part of Fundamentos de Química.
This online chemistry course provides a comprehensive introduction to redox (oxidation-reduction) reactions that occur in numerous daily processes. You'll learn to identify oxidizing and reducing agents, balance redox equations, and perform stoichiometric calculations. The course explores the spontaneity of redox reactions and their relationship to electrical energy in batteries and cell potentials. You'll also study electrolysis, its fundamentals, and applications in metal production and compound decomposition. Real-world applications in technological, biological, and everyday contexts are presented throughout. Designed for university-bound students, particularly those without prior chemistry experience, this course establishes the foundational knowledge needed for further studies in chemistry and related fields.
