The oxidized substance and the reduced substance in step 1 and step 2 respectively is to be determined. Concept introduction: A redox reaction is a type of reaction that involves the change in oxidation number of a molecule, atom or ion changes due to the transfer of an electron from one species to another. Oxidation of a species involves the loss of electrons by that species and reduction of a species involves the gain of electrons by that species. The oxidation number is defined as the formal charge an atom would gain if all the bonds attached to it in a compound are heterolytically cleaved. Oxidation number can be a positive or negative number but cannot be fractional.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of O2 that is dissolved in 50.00 mL of water sample is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Stoichiometry of a reaction is utilized to determine the amount of any species in the reaction by the relationship between the reactants and products.

Consider the general reaction,

A+2B→3C

One mole of A reacts with two moles of B to produce three moles of C. The stoichiometric ratio between A and B is 1:2, the stoichiometric ratio between A and C is 1:3 and the stoichiometric ratio between B and C is 2:3.
