Why is O2 necessary for rusting?

2 answers:

6 0

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,

The first option is the correct.
Since we know the mass of one atom of Fe is 56 and that of Cl2 atoms is 71 (one atom has 35.5 mass) hence both of them will be consumed

The freezing point of benzene is 5.5°C. What is the freezing point of a solution of 2.60 g of naphthalene (C10H8) in 675 g of be

Answer: The freezing point of solution is 5.35°C

Explanation:

The equation used to calculate depression in freezing point follows:

$\Delta T_f=\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}$

To calculate the depression in freezing point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_f=iK_fm$

Or,

$\text{Freezing point of pure solution}-\text{Freezing point of solution}=i\times K_f\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Freezing point of pure solution = 5.5°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 1 (For non-electrolytes)

$K_f$ = molal freezing point elevation constant = 4.90°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (naphthalene) = 2.60 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (naphthalene) = 128.2 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (benzene) = 675 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$5.5-\text{Freezing point of solution}=1\times 4.90^oC/m\times \frac{2.60\times 1000}{128.2g/mol\times 675}\\\\\text{Freezing point of solution}=5.35^oC$

Hence, the freezing point of solution is 5.35°C

Suppose the Moon's orbit were not tilted. How many total solar eclipses would you expect to see from Earth in a year?

Pavel [41]

The Moon completes its orbit in about 1 month. If the Moon's orbit were not tilted, a total solar eclipse would occur every time the Moon was between the Earth and Sun, or once a month hope this helps❤️
