Does a nail rust in oil?
No, in order for iron to rust it must be exposed to oxygen. Since there is no oxygen in oil oxidation cannot occur.
Why lithium metal is stored under oil?
Because lithium is extremely reactive and can undergo in air a violent oxidation.
How does the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from chemical formula?
A pure metal has the oxidation state zero.
Pb is a transition metal with only 1 oxidation state?
No, Pb is not a transition metal and it has 2 oxidation states
When is the oxidation state of a metal indicated in the name of a compuond?
The oxidation state of a metal is indicated in the name of a compound if and when that metal has more than one oxidation states. The oxidation state is then indicated by a Roman numeral placed in parenthesis next to the metal (Stock System).
Where can you store sodium metal?
Because sodium is so reactive, it will react with air to form oxides. Therefore, it is stored under oil in order to protect it from oxidation.
Is sodium metal kept in oil for safe storage?
Yes, its kept in mineral oil to prevent oxidation.
Does a nail rust in oil?
No, in order for iron to rust it must be exposed to oxygen. Since there is no oxygen in oil oxidation cannot occur.
Why lithium metal is stored under oil?
Because lithium is extremely reactive and can undergo in air a violent oxidation.
Rusting of iron is an example of?
Oxidation.Rust is an example of an oxidation reaction between iron and oxygen. This is why a coat of oil on iron-containing metal prevents rust--the oil stops oxygen from reaching the metal's surface so that the oxidation reaction cannot take place.
What happens when you don't change your engine oil?
The function of the oil is to protect from metal to metal contact. The oil will eventually shear and break down. This will then allow for metal to metal contact. If there is metal to metal contact, your engine temp. will increase and can warp parts, therefore permanently lowering efficiency of the engine ( and fuel), and or lead to more costly engine failures. If you have trouble remembering to change your oil regularly, I reccommend using a synthetic oil. Synthetics protect better and increase your oil change intervals.
Does anyone know what causes bore frosting and how it can be eliminated or corrected in Winchester rifles?
Of course, it is not actually frost. It is oxidation. Use a good non-abrasive bore cleaner and once clean, use a light protective oil to protect the metal.
How does the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from chemical formula?
A pure metal has the oxidation state zero.
Rust is formed as a result of oxidation of which metal?
Rust is formed as a result of oxidation of iron (Fe) metal.
Pb is a transition metal with only 1 oxidation state?
No, Pb is not a transition metal and it has 2 oxidation states
When is the oxidation state of a metal indicated in the name of a compound?
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state
When is the oxidation state of a metal indicated in the name of a compuond?
The oxidation state of a metal is indicated in the name of a compound if and when that metal has more than one oxidation states. The oxidation state is then indicated by a Roman numeral placed in parenthesis next to the metal (Stock System).
