<span>Chemically speaking, rust is a base and any acid will remove it. The choice of acid is going to be the thing to consider, since acid + base = salt and water. Phosphoric acid left a residue because the salt Iron phosphate is insoluble in water. Iron's soluble salts include the chloride, the sulfate and the nitrate. Industrially speaking, you need to "pickle" your iron. Pickling is a process in which dilute sulfuric acid is used to remove any surface corrosion prior to either painting or plating an iron surface. Sulfuric acid is ordinary battery acid and the salt Iron sulfate is not toxic. Sulfuric acid is one of the most common acids used (besides hydrochloric acid). The dilute kind is not terribly corrosive but concentrated sulfuric acid is a thick, syrupy liquid which can cause some nasty chemical burns if allowed to remain on the skin. It also heats up quite a lot when water is added, so this is an "Acid to water not water to acid" situation. The other choice is Hydrochloric acid, known as muriatic acid. The 20% concentrate is available in nearly any hardware store. It isn't as corrosive as concentrated sulfuric acid, but it has a burning, acrid stench, so never use the concentrate without adequate ventilation. It is ordinarily used to remove hard water deposits (boiler scale) but does a good on on rust as well. Concentrated Iron chloride isn't entirely inert but lots of rinsing will turn it back into harmless rust/sludge, especially if the rince water is naturally hard. Nitric acid will remove corrosion from anything, but it is extremely corrosive, smells worse then Hydrochloric acid and isn't easy to get, since it can be used to create some powerful explosives</span>
Electrons absorb energy, as they absorb energy they go from ground state to excited state and to return to ground state electrons release energy in the form of photons producing that color.
Answer:
no
Explanation:
A compound is a material formed by chemically bonding two or more chemical elments.
Answer: only Br2.
Justification.
In a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.
So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.
Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:
Reactants side Products side
K (0) K (1+)
Br (0) Br(1-)
So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom 0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.
And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.
Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.
<span>With the addition of an electron causing a negative charge, an ion is larger than normal but with loss of an atoms electron, the positive ion is smaller.
if the atom loses an electron, the ion is relatively smaller than the atom and it becomes positive.
if the atom gains an electron, the ion is relatively bigger than the atom and it becomes negative.</span>
