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 role of the ocean in the water cycle?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Don't get me wrong the seas are, by distant, the biggest store of water on soil, over 96% of all of Earth's water exists within the seas. Not as it were do the seas give dissipated water to the water cycle, they moreover permit water to move all around the globe as sea streams. I mean, that's all i know man, give me a break.

Which is a characteristic of nuclear fission
icang [17]
1. A heavy nucleus (U235 or Pu239), when bombarded by slow moving neutrons, split into two
or more nuclei.
2. Two or more neutrons are produced by fission of each nucleus.
3. Huge amount of energy is produced as a result of nuclear fission.
4. All the fission fragments are radioactive, giving off β and radiations.
<span>5. The atomic weights of fission products range from about </span>70 to 160.
6. The nuclear chain reactions can be controlled and maintained steadily by absorbing a
desired number of neutrons. This process is used in nuclear reactor.
<span>7. All the fission reactions are self-propagating chain-reactions because fission products contain </span>
neutrons (secondary neutrons) which further cause fission in other nuclei.
8. Every secondary neutron, released in the fission process, does not strike a nucleus, some
escape into air and hence a chain reaction cannot be maintained.
<span>9. The number of neutrons, resulting from a single fission, is known as the multiplication factor. </span>
When the multiplication factor is less than 1, a chain reaction does not take place.
<span>10. The control of chain reaction is necessary in order to maintain a steady reaction. This is </span>
carried out by absorbing a desired number of neutron by employing materials like
percentage of Cd, B or steel.
11. In a nuclear reactor, the multifactor is one. This is achieved by proper arrangement of
<span>fissionable materials.</span>

When 11.12 g of neon is combined in a 100 L container at 80oC with 9.59 g of argon, what is the mole fraction of argon?
PolarNik [594]
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "<span>0.3."

Here it is how to solve.
M</span><span>olecular mass of Ar = 40
</span><span>Molecular mass of Ne = 20
</span><span>Number of moles of Ar = 9.59/40 = 0.239
</span><span>Number of moles of Ne = 11.12/20= 0.556
</span><span>Mole fraction of argon = 0.239/ ( 0.239 + 0.556) = 0.3</span><span>
</span>

Entropy of a system decreases with decrease in Temperature T/F
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation:

Entropy means the measure of randomness present in a substance. That is, an increase in temperature will lead cause more motion in the particles of a substance more will be their kinetic energy.

As a result, there will occur more collisions due to which randomness of molecules will increase. Hence, there will be increase in entropy.

So, when we decrease the temperature then there will be decrease in motion of particles. As a result, lesser number of collisions will take place between them. Hence, degree of randomness will also decrease.

Thus, we can conclude the statement entropy of a system decreases with decrease in temperature, is true.
