Rust forms on an iron pipe after prolonged exposure to humid air. What type of change does this illustrate
The formation of Fe2O3 (iron oxide) on the surface of the iron pipe exposed to humid air is an example of rusting. Rusting is a common form of corrosion, which occurs when iron reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide. Over time, this can weaken the iron pipe and lead to structural deterioration.
No, Fe2O3 is ionic
•Redox reactions can cause a change in volume •2Fe + 1.5 O2 > Fe2O3
Assuming the metal is ferrous(contains iron) then rusting represents a chemical change because the metal (in the presence of water and oxygen) is changed into a different compound, Fe2O3. Since we started with an iron containing metal and we now have Fe2O3 which is not the same substance, a chemical change must have occurred.
Fe2O3
Hematite is an oxide of iron in its "raw" or "natural" form. It's a mineral, and it's iron(III) oxide. Its formula is Fe2O3.Hematite is Fe2O3.
This equation is not balanced as given. To balance it, you need to change the coefficients of the reactants and products. The balanced equation is 4Al + 3O2 -> 2Al2O3.
in one molecule of Fe2O3 there would be 3 oxygen atoms
Fe2O3 (diiron trioxide) is a chemical compound not am element.
Depict moles eg: Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g)--> 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g) 1 mole of Fe2O3 4 moles of CO 2 moles of Fe 3 moles of CO2
To calculate the weight of Fe3O4 needed to furnish 0.5430g of Fe2O3, you need to consider the molar masses of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3. The molar mass of Fe3O4 is 231.535 g/mol, and of Fe2O3 is 159.69 g/mol. By using the molar ratios between Fe3O4 and Fe2O3, you can determine that 0.5430g of Fe2O3 would require 0.7799g of Fe3O4.
The oxide Fe2O3 has 3 oxygen atoms in the molecule.
