\huge \quad\quad \underline{ \tt{{Answer}}}

Rusting of iron is the most familiar example of corrosion. It is a process in which an iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen and moisture to form a reddish brown substance iron oxide, which is commonly known as rust.

Answer:

Rust is an iron oxide, formed by iron and oxygen reacting in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rusting is an oxidation reaction. This means it involves oxygen reacting with something (in this case, iron in the presence of moisture).

The chemical formula for rusting:

4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe (OH)3

Answer:

1) K and Rb

2) 20 protons, 20 neutrons, and 20 electrons.

Explanation:

1) If it's in the same column, it has the same # of valence electrons (e- on the outer shell), therefore similar chemical properties.

2)

1) atomic #, 20, is the number of protons

2) subtract the mass number from # of protons, which you get 20 neutrons

3) Number of electrons in a neutral atom = number of electrons, which is 20. You can also check yourself by looking at electron configuration on a full periodic table.

A piece of metal weighing 267.0 g is placed in a graduated cylinder containing 229.0 mL of water. The volume of water now reads
densk [106]

Answer:

9.368g/mL

Explanation:

The density is defined as the mass of a compound in a determined volume.

Based on Archimedes' law, the volume of the piece of metal is the difference between the volume of the water + the inmersed piece - the original volume of water. That is:

<em>Volume of the metal:</em>

257.5mL - 229.0mL = 28.5mL

As the mass of the metal is 267.0g; its density is:

<em>Density:</em>

267.0g / 28.5mL =

<h3>9.368g/mL</h3>
