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,

7. Diethyl ether burns in air according to the following equation. C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l) If 7.15 L of CO2 is
iren [92.7K]

From the stoichiometry of the combustion reaction, we can see that 7.4 L of oxygen is consumed.

<h3>What is combustion?</h3>

Combustion is a reaction in which a substance is burnt in oxygen. The equation of the reaction is; C4H10O(l) + 6O2 (g) → 4CO2 (g) + 5H2O(l)

We can obtain the number of moles of CO2 from;

PV = nRT

n = 1.02 atm * 7.15 L/0.082 atm LK-1mol-1 * (125 + 273) K

n = 7.29 /32.6

n = 0.22 moles

If 6 moles of oxygen produces 4 moles of CO2

x moles of oxygen produces 0.22 moles of CO2

x = 0.33  moles

1 mole of oxygen occupies 22.4 L

0.33 moles of oxygen occupies 0.33 moles *  22.4 L/ 1 mole

= 7.4 L of oxygen
