The reaction of a metal with oxygen to form rust is called as redox reaction.

Explanation:

The process during which the surface of metal reacts with the oxygen ions present in air, it has tendency to get oxidized that is formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the metal. Generally, it occurs when metals like iron comes in contact with moisture or water. So the oxygen in moisture reacts with iron giving its electron and getting oxidized and reducing the surface of metal by forming metal oxide. So the complete process of formation of rust is termed as redox reaction. As here both oxidation and reduction is taking place.

Red light has a wavelength of about 6.5 x 10-7m. Find its frequency. Show all work.
ozzi
For this problem we use the wave equation. It is expressed as the speed (c) is equal to the product of frequency (f) and wavelength (v).

c = v x f

We know the wavelength of the an red light which is 6.5 x 10^-7 m. Now, we solve for the wavelength of the unknown wave to see the relation between the two waves.

2.998 X 10^8 = 5.3 X 10^15 X v
v = 2.998 X 10^8 / (5.3 X 10^15) = 5.657 X 10^-8 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the unknown wave is less than the wavelength of the red light.

One quarter of a 1-mole piece of iron turns to rust in six months. Which rate describes the speed at which the iron rusts?
avanturin [10]
1/4 mol = 0.25 mol

6 months = 0.5 year

rate = 0,25 mol / 0.5 year = 0.5 mol/year or approx 0.042 mol/month

C2H4(g) + H2(g) mc030-1.jpg C2H6(g) Which change would likely cause the greatest increase in the rate of the reaction?
Vinil7 [7]
The reaction is a hydrogenation reaction of an alkene, and its equation is:
C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) → C₂H₆(g)
Therefore, this reaction can be sped up just as any other irreversible reaction may have its rate increased, by increasing temperature and pressure to increase the effective collisions of molecules.
