Theory What is rust? Rust is the common name of a compound‚ iron oxide. Iron oxide‚ the chemical Fe2O3‚ is common because iron combines very readily with oxygen -- so readily‚ in fact‚ that pure iron is only rarely found in nature. Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion -- an electrochemical process involving an anode (a piece of metal that readily gives up electrons)‚ an electrolyte (a liquid that helps electrons move) and a cathode (a piece of metal that readily accepts electrons)

How much iron is there in an iron tablet? – Student Sheet In this practical you will have the opportunity to perform a quantitative analysis using the technique of titration. You are going to analyse an iron tablet to find out how much iron is actually present in it. Titrations involving potassium manganate(VII) may form part of your Practical Assessment.

hypothesis to answer was‚ ’What affect does water temperature have on the rate of corrosion of iron in sea water?’ The assumed answer was that ’ As temperature decreases‚ the rate of corrosion will decrease.’ Secondly‚ ’Which sacraficial anode would protect and shield the Iron‚ resulting in a decrease in corrosion levels‚ within salt water?’ The hypothesised answer was that the more active a metal then iron is ‚the greater protection it would provide.’ Corrosion is a redox reaction where metals become

Rust is an iron oxide‚ usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy‚ and form under different circumstances.Rust consists of hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2O3·nH2O and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH)‚ Fe(OH)3). Given sufficient time‚ oxygen‚ and water‚ any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. Surface rust is flaky and friable‚

example‚ aluminium forms a thin protective oxide layer which is impervious to air and water. In other cases (e.g. iron)‚ however‚ the coating either flakes off or is pervious to both air and water. So the whole piece of metal can corrode right through." The most common forms of metallic corrosion are caused by electrochemical reactions‚ wherein two metallic phases (e.g.‚ iron oxide and iron) react in the presence of electrolytic solution. Another mechanism of metallic corrosion is caused by chemical

reactivity of them.Discovering why metals react with certain cations and solutions is the main point of this lab. This has many real life applications. When creating buildings‚ or bridges it is important to understand and counter-act the rusting of iron. You can do that by using the activity series. For any industry using metals‚ this is important. Manufacturing cars‚ or producing construction supplies all ties in with the activity series. Without it‚ cars or buildings could very well be rusting and

Copper + Oxygen ( Copper Oxide Cu (I) + O ( CuO Rust is very similar to corrosion but only occurs in iron and steel (an iron alloy). Rust is formally known as oxidation‚ which occurs when Oxygen (O) comes into contact with iron (Fe). Overtime‚ the oxygen reacts and combines chemically with the iron‚ forming a substance named Iron Oxide (Fe2O3)‚ which weakens the physical bond of the iron.[2] Chemical Equation of Rust: 4Fe + 3O2 --> Fe2O3[3] To maximize rust‚ a certain level of moisture is

The Geritol Solution What is the basis for Martin’s premise that seeding the ocean with iron would help combat global warming? The idea of stimulating plankton growth with iron grew out of the fertile mind of the late John H. Martin‚ an oceanographer at Moss Landing. Martin sought originally to explain a long-standing mystery concerning barren waters in the Antarctic‚ subarctic‚ and equatorial Pacific Oceans. With the abundant concentrations of nutritious nitrate and phosphorus in
