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)

Which trends appear as the elements in Period 3 are considered from left to right?
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the organization of the periodic table, we can see that from left to right, the electronegativity increases as nonmetals are able to attract electrons more easily than metals.

Moreover, in contrast to the previous periodic trend, the metallic character decreases from left to right because the elements tend to decrease the capacity to lose electrons and consequently start attracting them.

Thus, the answer would be: "Metallic character decreases, and electronegativity increases".

Best regards!

If the pH of a 1.00-in. rainfall over 1800 miles2 is 3.70, how many kilograms of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, are present, assuming tha
NARA [144]
There are 2.32 x 10^6 kg sulfuric acid in the rainfall. 

Solution: 
We can find the volume of the solution by the product of 1.00 in and 1800 miles2: 
     1800 miles2 * 2.59e+6 sq m / 1 sq mi = 4.662 x 10^9 sq m 
     1.00 in * 1 m / 39.3701 in = 0.0254 m  
     Volume = 4.662 x 10^9 m^2 * 0.0254 m
                  = 1.184 x 10^8 m^3 * 1000 L / 1 m3
                  = 1.184 x 10^11 Liters 

We get the molarity of H2SO4 from the concentration of [H+] given by pH = 3.70: 
     [H+] = 10^-pH = 10^-3.7 = 0.000200 M 
     [H2SO4] = 0.000100 M  
 
By multiplying the molarity of sulfuric acid by the volume of the solution, we can get the number of moles of sulfuric acid: 
     1.184 x 10^11 L * 0.000100 mol/L H2SO4 = 2.36 x 10^7 moles H2SO4 

We can now calculate for the mass of sulfuric acid in the rainfall: 
     mass of H2SO4 = 2.36 x 10^7 moles * 98.079 g/mol
                               = 2.32 x 10^9 g * 1 kg / 1000 g
                               = 2.32 x 10^6 kg H2SO4

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL

How many atoms are found in the products of the following chemical equation?
coldgirl [10]

There are 13 atoms in the product

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

H2SO4 + 2KOH --> K2SO4 + 2H2O

Required

The number of atoms

Solution

In a chemical equation, there are reactants on the left and products on the right

Reactants : H2SO4 + 2KOH

Products : K2SO4 + 2H2O

The number of atoms is determined by their reaction coefficient and the subscript of the atoms in the compound

K2SO4 (coefficient = 1) :

K = 2 atoms

S = 1 atom

O = 4 atoms

Total atoms = 7 atoms

2H2O(coefficient = 2) :

H = 2 x 2 = 4 atoms

O = 2 x 1 = 2 atoms

Total atoms = 6 atoms

Total = 13 atoms
