Oxidation-Reduction Reaction Visualizer
Interactive simulation of electron transfer in redox reactions
Standard Reduction Potentials
Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu
E° = +0.34 V
Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Zn
E° = -0.76 V
Cell Potential:
E°cell = +1.10 V
Oxidation States
Zn
0 → +2
(oxidation)
Cu
+2 → 0
(reduction)
How Redox Reactions Work
- Oxidation: Loss of electrons (increase in oxidation state)
- Reduction: Gain of electrons (decrease in oxidation state)
- Electrons flow from reducing agent to oxidizing agent
- Cell potential determines reaction spontaneity (positive = spontaneous)
