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-
