Answer: Yes- Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust. Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen – both are needed for rusting to occur. Rusting is an example of a chemical change. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change. A chemical property of iron is that it is capable of combining with oxygen to form iron oxide, the chemical name of rust.

Hope this helps.... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Calculate OH- given H3 O+ = 1.40 *10^-4 M
vova2212 [387]

3.16 X 10^-11 M is the [OH-] concentration when H3O+ = 1.40 *10^-4 M.

Explanation:

data given:

H30+= 1.40 X 10^-4 M\

Henderson Hasslebalch equation to calculate pH=

pH = -log10(H30+)

putting the values in the equation:

pH = -log 10(1.40 X 10^-4 M)

pH = 3.85

pH + pOH =14

pOH = 14 - 3.85

pOH = 10.15

The OH- concentration from the pOH by the equation:

pOH = -log10[OH-]

10.5= -log10[OH-]

[OH-] = 10^-10.5

[OH-]  = 3.16 X 10^-11 is the concentration of OH ions when hydronium ion concentration is 1.40 *10^-4 M.
