<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.380 × 10^-8 M

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The pH is the measure of alkalinity or acidity of a substance.

It is the negative logarithm of H+ ions concentration [H+].

pH = -log[H+]

pOH on the other hand is negative logarith of OH- concentration [OH-].

pOH = -log[OH-]

In this case;

pOH = 7.86

We can calculate the [OH-]

pOH = -log[OH-]

But, pOH = 7.86

pOH = -log[OH-]

-log[OH-] = 7.86

[OH-] = Antilog -7.86

       = 1.380 × 10^-8 M

Therefore, [OH-] is 1.380 × 10^-8 M

rusting of steel can be prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc. Explain, in terms of electron transfer, why steal d
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.

Explanation:

This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.

Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.

Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.

Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.
