This video explains the terms 'oxidation' and 'reduction', and then runs through an example how we can use carbon to reduce certain metal oxides - forming pure metals in the process.

at the moment this channel is literally my best kept secret, the only reason I'm not failing miserably. When I graduate I will probably just recommend you left and right like "oh, you have a test? COGNITO!!"
thank you so much im literally failing chemistry i love you so much manifesting big things for you i hope you are happy and your life is amazing you are a literal life saver
Really helpful! I'm in year 10, and have been using this to revise for me chemistry mock exam. I love how it makes information, that I find hard to understand in a textbook, easier to comprehend! Will definitely recommend this to anybody who needs revision!
I did good in my year 10 mocks, although I could have done better. Currently I'm in year 11,and I've completed my first set of mocks, I have mocks in February before the official gcse examinations in May. My advice is to make your you develop a good study habit, and a sensible one too. Cramming isn't good for you, and if you separate your revision into chunks whicvh you check on evetty few days, you'll find your memory retrieval will improve. I made a lot of mistakes in year 10 where I just copied down notes from a text book and called it revision, but it really isn't. For Maths I'd recommend doing some practice every day, 30 minutes at least. English Language requires you to answer questions in certain ways, so practice questions and be strict with your timing. For example, since I do AQA English Language, I only give myself 8 minutes to do question 2-3, to save time for the larger questions. With English Literature, it's about knowing the story and learning your themes and quotes, make posters and flash cards, but also practice essays. I'd recommend watching Mr Salles on RU-vid, he's a very good English teacher. For example, I do a Christmas Carol, so I'd make posters and flashcards on the themes of The Christmas Spirit. For science, it's all about memory retrieval and knowing how to answer questions. Make flashcards for each topic and do practice papers, especially for Biology. If you have tests in year 10, take them seriously and put actual revision into them, and take your homework seriously too. It all counts as revision, and will save you a lot of time in the future. There are lots of revision methods, such as flashcards, mindmaps, quizzes, note taking, and saying it out loud. I'd recommend trying them out and seeing what you like best. I'd recommend 2 hours and 2 subjects per day. Here are a bunch of you tubers who are very useful: Science and Maths by Primrose kitten Cognito(obviously) Freesciencelessons Mathsgenie Corbettmaths Mr Salles Teaches English Mr Bruff Studystph UnJaded Jade I'd also suggest checking out exam reports and specifications, which you can find on exam board websites. Specifications tell you exactly what you need to know for the topic which is so so helpful in revision and you can learn from previous students past mistakes from the exam reports. My final advice is take care of yourself, and sleep well. Because you're in year 10 don't start studying intensely, but take these mocks as a practice of the real thing, and where you can improve.
@@bexthet-rex ok so the mocks in march for some people depending on the school will not have as many subjects as the real ones. mainly just the core ones. I suggest sticking to the timetable and doing what works for you for revision although me personally I prefer videos like these ones. I'm in yr 11 doing my 2nd mock currently and ive never been fond of science but using videos like this got me from 4s to 7s and 8s in a week. Its really that simple! MAKE SURE you take your time and start revision now because TRUST ME before you know it youll be where i am right now. Best of luck. i might come back to this on the results day to compare how ive done.
This is so very useful, thank you. I was studying for the next standard during this lockdown period in our nation during the current situation of COVID19. Would you consider doing similar videos about space science and quantum physics? Thanks.
man I've been watching this guy for the past 3 days literally saved my life in the exams thank you so much ill try tagging you on my social for people to come see this
Alphie10 - hey thanks for the comment! For the time being we’re keen to keep them all in one, just for the simplicity of viewing the playlists. If this becomes commonly requested though we may well change it :)
I feel betrayed by cognito because now I cant complete more than 2 questions then the website tells me " you have reached the daily limit".. I still love cognito and will cherish it but that made me disappointed and I'm afraid I can't keep my grades up
Oxidation doesn't mean gaining oxygen, it refers to losing electrons. Likewise reduction is gaining electrons. It can happen by reacting with oxygen which is much more electronegative than metals and takes 2 electrons but it can happen with other substances too. In sodium chloride the table salt, sodium has been oxidized to Na⁺ and the chlorine was reduced to Cl⁻. Any ionic compound has one part reduced and one oxidized
It's a topic to do with the reactivity series (some metals organised in order how reactive they are), metals (such as iron) aren't found in it's pure state, since it's reactive it bonds with elements in the air such as oxygen and that's why we find them as ores e.g. iron oxide. The video then explains the process of how we remove the iron from the ore through the process of reduction. Hopefully now the video makes sense, but feel free to reply if u need anymore help!
I’m a year 10 student My teacher told me that use the term OILRIG oxidation is lost reduction is gained and the vid is telling me the opposite can someone tell which is the real 1
the term OILRIG means oxidation is loss of electrons, and reduction is gain of electrons. but oxidation is still gain of oxygen and reduction is loss of oxygen
No complaints but all I could think about this whole video is "damn those oxygen atoms look like green RBCs, maybe instead of an Iron-based hemoglobin protein, they have a Chromium based one like how squids have copper-based blue blood cells"
@@anees8913 OILRIG refers to electrons, where OXIDATION is LOSS of ELECTRONS, and REDUCTION is GAIN of ELECTRONS. However, in terms of oxygen, OXIDATION is GAIN of oxygen, and REDUCTION is LOSS of oxygen. Hope this clears it up
