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-

Zinc dissolves in hydrochloric acid to yield hydrogen gas: zn(s) + 2hcl(aq) → zncl2(aq) + h2(g) when a 12.7 g chunk of zinc diss
N76 [4]

First calculate the initial moles of HCl.

HCl moles i = (1.45 moles / L) * 0.5 L = 0.725 moles HCl

 

Then calculate how much HCl is consumed by stoichiometry:

HCl moles consumed = (12.7 g Zn / 65.38 g / mol) * (2 moles HCl / 1 mole Zn) = 0.388 moles

 

So HCl moles left is:

HCl moles f = 0.725 – 0.388 = 0.3365 moles

For every 1 mole HCl there is 1 mole H, therefore:

H moles final = 0.3365 moles

 

So final concentration of H ions is:

<span>Concentration H = 0.3365 moles / 0.5 L = 0.673 M</span>

Electromagnets are created using charged and insulated wire wrapped around a piece of iron. uncharged and insulated wire wrapped
Inessa [10]
I think the correct answer would be <span>charged and insulated wire wrapped around a piece of iron. The charge in the wire would make magnetic fields through the aid of the magnetic properties of iron. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>

How can I make equilibrium shift to the right in a reversible reaction?
labwork [276]

Answer:

According to Le Chatelier's principle, adding additional reactant to a system will shift the equilibrium to the right, towards the side of the products. By the same logic, reducing the concentration of any product will also shift equilibrium to the right.

For the chemical reaction , I identify the reactant and the products .
svetlana [45]

The reactant is Mercury (II) Oxide while the products are Mercury and Oxygen separately.

This is because the reactants are typically always on the left side of the yields symbol. In this decomposition reaction, it would still be the same as at the end of the reaction, there were to products produced: Mercury and Oxygen.

Products tend to always be on the right side of the yields symbol, they're what comes out of a reaction no matter what type.

Hope this helps!
