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,

A 0.500-g sample of KCl is added to 50.0g of water in a calprimeter (Figure 5.12) If the temperature decreases by 1.05C. what is

Sauron [17]

Answer : The reaction is endothermic.

Explanation :

Formula used :

$Q=m\times c\times \Delta T$

where,

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $1.05^oC$

Q = heat involved in the dissolution of KCl = ?

m = mass = 0.500 + 50.0 = 50.5 g

c = specific heat of resulting solution = $4.18J/g^oC$

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$Q=50.5g\times 4.18J/g^oC\times 1.05^oC$

$Q=+221.64J$

The heat involved in the dissolution of KCl is positive that means as the change in temperature decreases then the reaction is endothermic and as the change in temperature increases then the reaction is exothermic.

Hence, the reaction is endothermic.

B)Balance the Chemical Equation for the reaction of calcium carbonate with hydrochloric acid:
CaCO3+ HCl -> CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O To balance chemical equations we need to look at each element individually on both sides of the equation. calcium carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula CaCO3.
