When elemental iron corrodes it combines with oxygen in the air to ultimately form red brown iron(iii) oxide which we call rust.

(a) if a shiny iron nail with an initial mass of 23.2 g is weighed after being coated in a layer of rust, would you expect the mass to have increased, decreased, or remained the same? explain. (b) if the mass of the iron nail increases to 24.1 g, what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?

<span>The mass of the nail would increase, because the iron is adding oxygen to its chemical composition. This would increase the overall mass. If the mass increases from 23.2g to 24.1g, then the increase would be the difference between the two masses, or 0.9g.</span>

One brand of vinegar has a pH of 4.5. Another brand has a pH of 5.0. The equation for the pH of a substance is pH = –log[H+], wh
grigory [225]
[H+] in first brand:
4.5 = -log([H+])
[H+] = 10^(-4.5)

[H+] in second brand:
5 = -log[H+]
[H+] = 10^(-5)

Difference = 10^(-4.5) - 10^(-5)
= 2.2 x 10⁻⁵

The answer is A.

What causes attraction and repulsion between atoms?​
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Repulsive forces exist only when atoms are very close to each other. (3/14) "They [the atoms] will approach until both nuclei will simply shove each other because both of them are positive." The balance between the attraction and repulsion forces determines how close the atoms can get. The relationships between the magnitude and direction of repulsive and attractive forces. A stable state of a bond is when attractive forces balance repulsion forces. “A stable state between two atoms is when they attract each other with a force that equals the force that they repel each other.”

"an acid is a substance that forms hydrogen ions when dissolved in water." this is an example of —
LenaWriter [7]

Answer is: this is an example of an Arrhenius acid.

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions or protons (H⁺). 

For example hydrochloric acid: HCl(aq) → H⁺(aq) + Cl⁻(aq).

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide ions (OH⁻<span>). 
In this example lithium hydroxide is an Arrhenius base:</span>

LiOH(aq) → Li⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Find the no. Of electron involved in the electro deposition of 63.5g of cu from a solution of cuso4
sp2606 [1]
This is a redox reaction, meaning reduction-oxidation reaction. This represents the reaction in one side of the electrode in an electrolysis set-up. First, we find the oxidation number of Cu in CuSO4:

(ox. # of Cu)+ ox.# of S + 4(ox.# of oxygen) = 0
(ox. # of Cu) + (6) + 4(-2) = 0
ox. # of Cu = 2+

CuSO4 ---> Cu + SO42-
Cu2+ + SO42-  ---->  Cu + SO42-
Cu2+ -----> Cu + 2e-   (net ionic reaction)

The stoichiometric equation would be 2 electrons per mole Copper. Copper has a molar mass of <span>63.5 g/mol. Then, it would only need 2 electrons.
