The balanced chemical reaction would be as follows:
2H2O2 = 2H2O + O2
We are given the amount of the peroxide that decomposes. Using this as the starting point for the calculations, we can determine the amount of O2 produced. We do as follows:
14.3 mol H2O2 ( 1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O2 ) = 7.15 mol O2 produced
The reaction is given as
Fe2O3 (s)+ 3CO(g)--->3CO2(g)+ 2Fe(s)
No.of moles=mass in gram/molar mass
As for Fe mole =156.2g/55.847=2.7969~2.797
The ratio b/w CO and Fe is 3:2
Moles of CO needed= 2.797x3/2=4.1955
Mass of CO needed= 4.195mol x 28.01g/mol= 117.515g
Answer:
Wouldn't rust because zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron and will therefore oxidize first.
Explanation:
This process whereby rusting of steel is prevented by coating the steel with a layer of zinc is known as galvanization.
Now, in this process, the steel object will be coated in a thin layer of zinc. This coating will prevent oxygen and water from reaching the underneath metal since the zinc will also act as a sacrificial metal.
Now, Zinc is used because it has a lower reduction potential than iron and thus it will get easily more oxidized than iron. Which means the zinc will lose electrons more readily than iron.
Also, since zinc has a lower reduction potential, it is therefore the more active metal. Thus, even if the zinc coating is scratched and the steel is exposed to moist air, the zinc will still get to oxidize before the iron.
