Give the half equation to show what happens to oxygen when it is rusting

Chemistry
1 answer:
ycow [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

½O 2 + 2e - + H 2O → 2OH.

Explanation:

Redox reactions - Higher

In terms of electrons:

oxidation is loss of electrons

reduction is gain of electrons

Rusting is a complex process. The example below show why both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. They are interesting examples of oxidation, reduction and the use of half equations:

iron loses electrons and is oxidised to iron(II) ions: Fe → Fe2+ + 2e-

oxygen gains electrons in the presence of water and is reduced: ½O2 + 2e- + H2O → 2OH-

iron(II) ions lose electrons and are oxidised to iron(III) ions by oxygen: 2Fe2+ + ½O2 → 2Fe3+ + O2-

Describe the difference between a ball-and-stick model and a space-filling model of a compound.
Lisa [10]
A space-filling model shows the relative amount of space each atom takes up. In other words, a space-filling model can show relative sizes of atoms. However, unlike ball-and-stick or structural models, space-filling models do not show bond lengths clearly. Bonds are not really like sticks in a ball-and-stick model.

How much water should be added to 4.3 moles of LiBr to prepare a 2.05 m solution?
arsen [322]

Answer:

2.1 kg of water

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Moles of lithium bromide (solute): 4.3 moles
  • Molality of the solution (m): 2.05 m (2.05 mol/kg)
  • Mass of water (solvent): ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of water required

Molality is equal to the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent.

m = moles of solute/kilograms of solvent

kilograms of solvent = moles of solute/m

kilograms of solvent = 4.3 mol /(2.05 mol/kg) = 2.1 kg

Which is the least dense?<br><br> copper<br><br> mercury<br><br> water<br><br> wood
tamaranim1 [39]
Least dense means the one that is at the top. Wood floats on top of water, so wood would be the least dense. Water has a density of 1 and the others would all sink, so they're more dense. The answer is wood

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

0.5 mole

Explanation:

The question isn't even clear

But I'm guessing you want to ask the number of moles

n= Number of molecules/ Avogadros number

n= 1/2
