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-

What is the relationship between the oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle
Ganezh [65]
Photosynthesis. Because the plants give off oxygen as a waste product. Carbon dioxide then moves from the air into the leaves of plants through tiny openings in the plants leaves.

Kepler’s second law of planetary motion states which of the following?
aev [14]
Kepler stated three laws of planetary motion.

First law states that the pathway of a planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci.

Second law states that an imaginary line joining the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas during equal lengths of time.

Third law states that the square of the period of the orbit of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the length of the distance from the Sun.

Therefore, the answer is that Kepler's second law of planetary motion states that planets cover the same area during equal time periods.
