When elemental iron corrodes it combines with oxygen in the air to ultimately form red brown iron (III) oxide which we call rust

. (a) If a shiny ironnail with an initial mass of 23.2 g is weighed after being coated in a layer of rust, would you expect the mass to have increased, decreased, or remained the same? Explain. (b) If the mass of the iron nall increases to 24.1 g what mass of oxygen combined with the iron?

Answer:

a) Increase

b) Mass of oxygen = 0.9 g

Explanation:

The chemical reaction depicting the formation of rust is:

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

where rust is Fe2O3 i.e. iron(II) oxide or ferric oxide

a) When a piece of Fe is exposed to air or oxygen the surface gets coated with Fe2O3. This will increase the amount of matter and hence the mass.

b) Initial mass of iron , Fe= 23.2 g

Mass of iron coated with oxide, Fe2O3 = 24.1 g

Therefore mass of oxygen combined= 24.1 - 23.2 = 0.9 \ g

Answer:

Decomposers (either Secondary Consumer or Tertiary Consumer)

Explanation:

Decomposers eat dead materials and break them down into chemical parts. ... They keep the ecosystem free of the bodies of dead animals or carrion. They break down the organic material and recycle it into the ecosystem as nutrients. Vultures, Blowflies, hyenas, crabs, lobsters and eels are examples of scavengers.

What happens to energy when methane increases?
Zanzabum

Answer:

How does methane gas affect the environment?

If methane leaks into the air before being used — from a leaky pipe, for instance — it absorbs the sun's heat, warming the atmosphere. For this reason, it's considered a greenhouse gas, like carbon dioxide.

Determine whether or not baco3 will be more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water.
Volgvan
Barium carbonate (BaCO₃) <span>will be more soluble in acidic solution than in pure water, because Ksp (solubility constant) in water for this salt is very low.
In acid (for example hydrochloric acid) barium carbonate dissolves more because it forms weak electrolyte carbonic acid:
BaCO</span>₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → BaCl₂(aq) + H₂CO₃(aq).
