Why is O2 necessary for rusting?

Chemistry

The main culprit is actually water, although bleach will also cause iron to rust, as will vinegar or other acids. Rust is the combination of Iron and Oxygen (O2) .Without Oxygen rust can never form. Chemically rust is Fe2 O3 .

O2 isn't necessary for rusting, but some source of oxygen is required. Rust is just another name for iron oxide, and without oxygen there can't be oxide.

Hope this helps,

Davinia.

How many molecules of F2 react with 66.6 g NH3 ? (stoichiometry)
stiks02 [169]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

5.89 × 10^23 molecules of F₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The equation for the reaction between fluorine (F₂) and ammonia (NH₃) is given by;

5F₂ + 2NH₃ → N₂F₄ + 6 HF

We are given 66.6 g NH₃

We are required to determine the number of fluorine molecules

<h3>Step 1: Moles of Ammonia </h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of ammonia = 17.031 g/mol

Moles of NH₃ = 66.6 g ÷ 17.031 g/mol

                      = 3.911 moles

<h3>Step 2: Moles of Fluorine </h3>

From the equation 5 moles of Fluorine reacts with 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore,

Moles of fluorine = Moles of Ammonia × 5/2

                            = 3.911 moles × 5/2

                           = 9.778 moles

<h3>Step 3: Number of molecules of fluorine </h3>

We know that 1 mole of a compound contains number of molecules equivalent to the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore;

1 mole of F₂ = 6.022 × 10^23 molecules

Thus,

9.778 moles of F₂ = 9.778 moles × 6.022 × 10^23 molecules/mole

                              = 5.89 × 10^23 molecules

Therefore, the number of fluorine molecules needed is 5.89 × 10^23 molecules

Vinegar is an aqueous solution of acetic acid, ch3cooh. a 5.00 ml sample of a particular vinegar requires 26.90 ml of 0.175 m na
Fed [463]

  The molarity  of  acetic acid in the  vinegar is  0.94 M


 <u><em> calculation</em></u>

Step 1:  write  the balanced equation between CH3COOH  + NaOH

that is CH3COOH   + NaOH  →  CH3COONa  + H2O


step 2 :  find the moles of NaOH

moles  =molarity  x volume in L

volume in liters = 26.90/1000=0.0269 l

moles = 0.175 mol /L x 0.0269 L  =0.0047  moles  of NaOH


Step 3: use the mole  ratio to find moles of CH3COOH

that is the  mole ratio of  CH3COOH: NaOH is 1:1 therefore  the moles of CH3COOH is  =0.0047  moles


Step 4:  find the  molarity  of  CH3COOH

molarity = moles/volume in liters

volume in liter = 5.00/1000 =0.005 l

molarity  is therefore=0.0047 moles/ 0.005 l = 0.94 M

Sound travel at a velocity of 333 m/s. How long does it take for sound to travel the length of a 100.0 yard football field
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

It takes 0.27 second to travel the distance of  100 yard

Explanation:

We can use the formula ( t = d / s )t = d / s  = 91 m / 333 m/s  = 0.27 s
