Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen gas and water must be present for iron to rust.

A region of the metal’s surface serves as the anode, where oxidation

occurs:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 e⁻

The electrons given up by iron reduce atmospheric oxygen to water at the cathode, which is another region of the same metal’s surface:

O₂ (g) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 H₂O (l)

The overall redox reaction is:

2 Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 4H⁺(aq) + 2Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

The Fe²⁺ ions formed at the anode are further oxidized by oxygen:

4 Fe²⁺ (aq) + O₂(g) 1 (4 + 2x) H₂O (l) → 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O(s) + 8 H⁺(aq)

This hydrated form of iron(III) oxide is known as rust. The amount of water associated with the iron oxide varies, so we represent the formula as 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O.

Gases trap heat and cause the greenhouse effect. Solar radiation warms the earth, while the atmosphere traps it.

Leads to seasonal patterns, when the earth is tilted to the northern hemisphere its summer and when the earth is tiled to the south, its winter.

Results in some of the atmosphere to be warmer than other parts, it changes in volume and pressure which results in strong weather.

As wind or ocean current moves, the Earth spins underneath it.

Melting of the ice mass at the poles, which causes rising sea level, producing flooding and endangering coastal habitats

Shock waves, heat radiation, the formation of craters with associated earthquakes, and tsunamis if water bodies are hit or caused by the earthquakes.

jeopardizing latitude, water elevation, ocean currents, topography, most habitats, and prevailing winds.

Which step is first in translation
Natalija [7]

The steps in translation are: The ribosome binds to mRNA at a specific area. The ribosome starts matching tRNA anticodon sequences to the mRNA codon sequence. Each time a new tRNA comes into the ribosome, the amino acid that it was carrying gets added to the elongating polypeptide chain.
