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-

A food product contains 15 g of carbohydrates, 5 g of protein and 4 g of fat. How many calories are in one serving of this produ
Basile [38]

Answer: 116 calories of energy

Explanation:

A calorie is a non-standard unit of energy.

On combustion,

1 gram Carbohydrates = 4 calories,

1 gram protein = 4 calories,

1gram fat = 9 calories.

Therefore,

15 grams of carbohydrates = (15*4) = 60

5 grams of protein = (5*4) = 20

4 grams of fats = (4*9) = 36

Then add up: 60 + 20 + 36 = 116 calories of energy

B the atomic number of nitrogen is 7. what is the mass number of a nitrogen atom with 6 neutrons? express your answer as an inte
devlian [24]

Mass number is equal to the sum of number of neutrons (neutral subatomic particle) and number of protons (positively charge particle).

Mass number  =number of protons + number of neutrons

Now, atomic number is same as the number of protons i.e. atomic of nitrogen is 7 . Thus, number of protons is also equal to 7.

Therefore,

Mass number  =7 + 6

= 13

Hence, mass number of nitrogen is equal to 13.
