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)

Calculate the concentration 3.8g of copper sulfate, CuSO4 dissolved in 250cm4 of water
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.08 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper sulfate = 3.8 g

Volume of water = 250 cm³  (250/1000 = 0.25 L)

Concentration of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of copper sulfate:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.8 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

Concentration:

Molarity = Number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

Molarity = 0.02 mol / 0.25 L

Molarity = 0.08 mol/L

Molarity = 0.08 M

How will the concentration of H+ and OH− ions change when a substance with a pH 11.4 is added to water?
PolarNik [594]

Answer is: H+ will increase and OH− will decrease.

pH = 11.4.

pH = -log[H+].

[H+] = 10∧(-pH).

[H+] = 10∧(-11.4).

[H+] = 4·10⁻¹² mol/L.

[H+] · [OH-] = 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶.

[OH-] = 0.0025 mol/L.

pH value (potential of hydrogen - [H+]) is a logarithmic scale that specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

When pH is greater than seven, aqueous solution is basic, below seven is acidic and when pH is equal seven, solution is neutral.
