Answer:

Oxidation reaction

Explanation:

Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons

Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Y is a 3-chloro-3-methylpentane.

The structure is shown in the figure attached.

Explanation:

The radical chlorination of 3-methylpentane can lead to a tertiary substituted carbon (Y) and to a secondary one (X).

The E2 elimination mechanism, as shown in the figure, will happen with a simulyaneous attack from the base and elimination of the chlorine. This means that primary and secondary substracts undergo the E2 mechanism faster than tertiary substracts.

How could you engineer a device that produces beneficial friction and heat?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

That's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer. ... Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster, so they have more energy. This gives them a higher temperature, and they feel warmer. Heat from friction can be useful.

Which atomic models does Rutherford’s experimental evidence support? Explain why these models (Dalton, Bohr, Thomson models) are
ipn [44]

Answer:

Rutherford was the first scientist who proposed the nuclear model of the atom. According to his atomic model, most of the space of an atom is empty, while the nucleus containing protons and neutrons lie at the center of the atom while electrons revolve around nucleus in definite orbits.

If we talk about studies of some other scientists like Dalton, Neil Bohr and JJ Thomson, they all are compatible with Rutherford's results to a large extent.

For example: Dalton's atomic model assumed that atoms of any substance are similar in size and atoms react to form compounds. Rutherford's concept indicated that atoms contain electrons and they are in a specific number which can be shared to form compounds.

If we talk about Bohr's model, it states that electrons revolve around nucleus in specific shells, this again is compatible with Rutherford's results which gave the concept of shells.

If we talk about Thomson's Plum pudding model, that describe atom as negative particles floating within a soup of diffuse positive charge. This is also compatible with the results of Rutherford that state that negative electrons surround positive nucleus.

Rutherford's model was best atomic model but still it took help from many previous studies and therefore was compatible with the results of old models.


Hope it help!

An ideal gas differs from a real gas in that the molecules of an ideal gas __________. a have a molecular weight of zero b have
Rasek [7]
An ideal gas differs from a real gas in that the molecules of an ideal gas have no attraction for one another. 
An ideal gas is defined as one in which collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly elastic and in which there are no inter-molecular attractive forces. A real gas on the other hand is a gas that does not behave as an ideal gas due to interactions between gas molecules. Particles in a real gas have a real volume since real gases are made up of molecules or atoms that typically take up some space even though they are extremely small.
