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 mass of ether(0.71) which can be put into a beaker holding 130ml
UkoKoshka [18]
D=m/v    ⇒ m=d*v

d=density
m=mass
v=volume

d(ether)=0.71 gr/cm³=0.71 gr/ ml
v=130 ml

m=d*v
m=0.71 gr/ml*(130 ml)=92.3 g

Solution: m=92.3 g

From this list, select the element that forms π bonds most readily. from this list, select the element that forms bonds most rea
Finger [1]

Nonmetals which are located in the second row form pi bonds more easily than the elements situated in the third row and below. Actually there are no compounds or molecules known that forms covalent bonds to the noble gas Ne and Ar. Hence the other second row element which is Carbon, is the element that forms pi bonds most readily.

What is the boiling point of cyclohexane at 620 mm hg?
Alchen [17]

The right answer is 271.78 degrees for cyclohexane.

For each liquid there is a precise relationship between pressure and boiling temperature, we can define the boiling temperature as the moment when the first bubble of vapor appears on the surface of a liquid.
