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)

What is the chemical composition of hot chocolate?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Hot chocolate is as straightforward as drinks go: at its core, it's milk, cocoa powder, and sugar. Despite its simplicity, this cold-weather classic is swirling with science. The backbone of any decent hot chocolate is milk. Beyond water, milk is perhaps the most basic and familiar substance to humans.

Which alkane is the isomer of butane called 2-methylpropane? A skeletal model of a 4-carbon chain has a straight line extending
solmaris [256]

Answer:

A three-carbon chain has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

Explanation:

Isomers are compounds having the same molecular formula but different structural formulas.

Butane and 2-methylpropane are constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers differ in the way that the constituent atoms are connected to each other.

Butane is a straight chain compound while the compound 2-methylpropane consists of a three-carbon chain which has a straight line extending from the center carbon.

There are some data that suggest that zinc lozenges can significantly shorten the duration of a cold. If the solubility of zinc
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

K_{sp} of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} is 0.0513

Explanation:

Solubility equilibrium of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2}:

Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2}\rightleftharpoons Zn^{2+}+2CH_{3}COO^{-}

Solubility product of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} (K_{sp}) is written as-            K_{sp}=[Zn^{2+}][CH_{3}COO^{-}]^{2}

Where [Zn^{2+}] and [CH_{3}COO^{-}] represents equilibrium concentration (in molarity) of Zn^{2+} and CH_{3}COO^{-} respectively.

Molar mass of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} = 183.48 g/mol

So, solubility of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} = \frac{43.0}{183.48}M = 0.234M

1 mol of Zn(CH_{3}COO)_{2} gives 1 mol of Zn^{2+} and 2 moles of CH_{3}COO^{-} upon dissociation.

so,   [Zn^{2+}] = 0.234 M and [CH_{3}COO^{-}] = (2\times 0.234)M=0.468M

so, K_{sp}=(0.234)\times (0.468)^{2}=0.0513
