An iron object alloyed with cobalt rusts more quickly than a pure iron object. However, an iron object alloyed with manganese ru

sts less quickly than a pure iron object under the same conditions. This is true because: __________
a. cobalt is a stronger reducing agent than iron
b. iron is a stronger reducing agent than manganese
c. cobalt exhibits more metallic character than either iron or manganese in the iron-manganese alloy

Rusting is an electrochemical reaction. Iron rusts faster when alloyed with cobalt than when alloyed with manganese because, in the iron-manganese alloy, manganese is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode

An alloy is a combination of two metals. There are various reasons for producing alloys such as greater tensile strength, corrosion resistance and improved aesthetic appearance.

When iron is alloyed with cobalt, the iron rusts faster than pure iron because iron is rendered the anode and cobalt is rendered the cathode. When the iron is alloyed with manganese, it rusts more slowly than pure iron because in the iron-manganese alloy, manganese is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode.

Missing parts;

An iron object alloyed with cobalt rusts more quickly than a pure iron object. However, an iron object alloyed with manganese rusts less quickly than a pure iron object under the same conditions. This is true because

(1) cobalt is a stronger reducing agent than iron

(2) iron is a stronger reducing agent than manganese

(3) cobalt exhibits more metallic character than either iron or manganese

(4) in the iron-manganese alloy, manganese is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode

(5) in the iron-cobalt alloy, cobalt is rendered the anode and iron is rendered the cathode

mixer [17]

Answer:

Manganese decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and nitrogen increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given redox reaction, we rewrite it as a convenient first step:

2NO + 3MnO_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2NO_3^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H_2O

Next, we assign the oxidation numbers as follows:

2N^{2+}O^{2-} + 3Mn^{4+}O^{-2}_2 + 4H^+ \rightarrow 2(N^{5+}O^{2-}_3)^- + 3Mn^{2+} + 2H^+_2O^{2-}

Thus, we can see that both manganese and nitrogen undergo a change in their oxidation number, the former decreases from 4+ to 2+ (reduced and oxidizing agent) and the latter increases from 2+ to 5+ (oxidized and reducing agent).

Regards!

If 12.4 mol of Ne gas occupies 122.8 L, how many mol of Ne would occupy 339.2 L under the same temperature and pressure? Record
8090 [49]

Answer:

3.43×10¹ mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial number of  moles = 12.4 mol

Initial volume = 122.8 L

Final number of moles = ?

Final volume = 339.2 L

Solution:

The number of moles and volume are directly proportional to each other at same temperature and pressure.

V₁/n₁  =  V₂/n₂

122.8 L/ 12.4 mol  =  339.2 L / n₂

n₂ = 339.2 L× 12.4 mol  / 122.8 L

n₂ = 4206.08 L.mol /122.8 L

n₂ = 34.3mol

In scientific notation:

3.43×10¹ mol
