Rust is iron oxide, the corrosion product of iron when exposed to the oxygen in the air. Tin is not iron, so you cannot produce iron oxide from the corrosion of tin. Because the layer of tin on the surface of the steel prevents atmospheric oxygen and moisture from contacting the steel.
Answer:
When chromium chloride, CrCl2, is dissolved in water, the temperature of the water decreases. ... The attractive forces between water molecules and chromium and chloride ions is stronger, because the reaction is endothermic means the energy released in formation is less than the energy required in breaking bond.
Answer:
Explanation:
The chemical equation is:
There are several definitions of acid and bases: Arrhenius', Bronsted-Lowry's and Lewis'.
Bronsted-Lowry model defines and <em>acid</em> as a donor of protons, H⁺.
In the given equation HNO₃ is such substance: it releases an donates its hdyrogen to form the H₃O⁺ ion.
On the other hand, a <em>base</em> is a substance that accepts protons.
In the reaction shown, H₂O accepts the proton from HNO₃ to form H₃O⁺.
Thus, H₂O is a base.
In turn, on the reactant sides the substances can be classified as acids or bases.
H₃O⁺ contain an hydrogen that can be donated and form H₂O; thus, it is an acid (the conjugated acid), and NO₃⁻ can accept a proton to form HNO₃; thus it is a base (the conjugated base).
