What happens to iron when iron oxide becomes elemental iron?

Chemistry

The appropriate response is Reduction. It is a chemical reaction that includes the picking up of electrons. It alludes to the side that acknowledges electrons. At the point when iron responds with oxygen, it frames a concoction called rust. In that case, the iron is oxidized and the oxygen is lessened.

Answer:

Iron gets reduced from a +3 oxidation state to 0

Explanation:

The decomposition of iron oxide to elemental can be represented by the following equation:

2Fe_{2} O_{3} (s)------ 4Fe(s) + 3O_{2} (g)

In iron oxide (Fe2O3), the oxidation state of iron is +3 while that of oxygen is -2. Therefore, the above reaction is a redox (reduction oxidation reaction).

Here, iron in iron oxide gains 3 electrons and gets reduced from Fe3+ to Fe(0). Whereas, the oxygen loses 2 electrons and gets reduced from O2- to O(0).

The half reactions can be represented as:

Reduction:

Fe^{3+} + 3e- ------- Fe

Oxidation:

O^{2-} -------O + 2e-

A weather system moving through the American Midwest produced rain with an average pH of 5.02. By the time the system reached Ne
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution depends on the concentration of H⁺ ions ([H⁺]). We can calculate this concentration from the pH using the following expression.

pH = -log ([H⁺])

American Midwest

pH = -log ([H⁺])

5.02 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-5.02) = 9.55 × 10⁻⁶ M

New England

pH = -log ([H⁺])

4.66 = -log ([H⁺])

[H⁺] = antilog (-4.66) = 2.19 × 10⁻⁵ M

The ratio of concentrations is:

\frac{2.19 \times 10^{-5} M  }{9.55 \times 10^{-6} M} =2.29

The rain falling in New England is 2.29 times more acidic than the one in the American Midwest.

<span>Answer: option D) Conditions over the oceans change slowly because water takes more time than land to gain or lose heat.

This is because water has a high heat capacity meaning that, with the same amount of heat, it will change its temperature less than what substances with lower heat capacities do.
