An iron storage tank is placed in the ocean with no cathodic protection. a. What is the electrolyte in this reaction? b. As the

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Iron is being oxidized at the anode and water is acting as the electrolyte.

Explanation:

When iron is exposed to oxygen and water , the rusting of iron takes place.

<u>The reaction taking place at anode : Oxidation of iron.</u>

${anode:}\;\text{Fe}(s)\;{\longrightarrow}\;\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;2\text{e}^{-}$

The reaction taking place at cathode : Reduction of oxygen in the air.

${cathode:}\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;4\text{H}^{+}(aq)\;+\;4\text{e}^{-}\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)$

The overall reaction:

${overall:}\;2\text{Fe}(s)\;+\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;4\text{H}^{+}(aq)\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;2\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)$

The rust that is hydrated iron(III) oxide can form iron(II) ions which can react further with oxygen.

$4\text{Fe}^{2+}(aq)\;+\;\text{O}_2(g)\;+\;(4\;+\;2x)\;\text{H}_2\text{O}(l)\;{\longrightarrow}\;2\text{Fe}_2\text{O}_3{\cdot}x\text{H}_2\text{O}(s)\;+\;8\text{H}^{+}(aq)$

Thus, from the above reactions ,

Iron is being oxidized at the anode and water is acting as the electrolyte.

Estimate the solubility of m(oh)2 in a solution buffered at ph = 7.0, 10.0, and 14.0.

kherson [118]

<span>When M(OH)2 dissolves we have M(OH)2 which produces M2+ and 2OHâ’ pH + pOH=14 At ph =7; we have 7+pOH=14 pOH=14â’7 = 7 Then [OHâ’]=10^(â’pOH) [OH-] = 10^(-7) = 1* 10^(-7) At ph = 10. We have, pOH = 4. And [OH-] = 10^(-4) = 1 * 10^(-4) Finally ph = 14. We have, pOH = 0 And then [OH-] = 10^(-0) -----anything raised to zero power is 1, but (-0)... So [OH-] = 1</span>
