<span>Chemically speaking, rust is a base and any acid will remove it. The choice of acid is going to be the thing to consider, since acid + base = salt and water. Phosphoric acid left a residue because the salt Iron phosphate is insoluble in water. Iron's soluble salts include the chloride, the sulfate and the nitrate. Industrially speaking, you need to "pickle" your iron. Pickling is a process in which dilute sulfuric acid is used to remove any surface corrosion prior to either painting or plating an iron surface. Sulfuric acid is ordinary battery acid and the salt Iron sulfate is not toxic. Sulfuric acid is one of the most common acids used (besides hydrochloric acid). The dilute kind is not terribly corrosive but concentrated sulfuric acid is a thick, syrupy liquid which can cause some nasty chemical burns if allowed to remain on the skin. It also heats up quite a lot when water is added, so this is an "Acid to water not water to acid" situation. The other choice is Hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid. The 20% concentrate is available in nearly any hardware store. It isn't as corrosive as concentrated sulfuric acid, but it has a burning, acrid stench, so never use the concentrate without adequate ventilation. It is ordinarily used to remove hard water deposits (boiler scale) but does a good on on rust as well. Concentrated Iron chloride isn't entirely inert but lots of rinsing will turn it back into harmless rust/sludge, especially if the rince water is naturally hard. Nitric acid will remove corrosion from anything, but it is extremely corrosive, smells worse then Hydrochloric acid and isn't easy to get, since it can be used to create some powerful explosives</span>
The arrangement of particles that make up an ionic compound would be an ionic lattice type of crystal arrangement. An ionic lattice type of structure will be formed due to many of the ionic bonds formed between the oppositely charged ions of the metal and nonmetal.
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>For 1:</u> Neutralization reaction
<u>For 2: </u>Zinc is more reactive than lead and less reactive than calcium.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When a base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water molecule, it is known as a neutralization reaction. The general equation follows:
The chemical equation for the reaction of calcium hydroxide and nitric acid follows:
A single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. The general chemical equation follows:
where,
Metal A is more reactive than metal B
The reactivity of metals is judged by the reactivity series where a metal lying above in the series is more reactive than the metal lying below it.
From the reactivity series below,
Zinc lies above in the series than lead thus is more reactive and will easily replace lead from its aqueous solution.
While zinc lies below in the series than calcium thus is less reactive and will not easily replace calcium from its aqueous solution.
