(1) Write the reaction of oxidation of iron at anode?
(2) Write the reaction of oxidation of iron at cathode
Answers
Answer:
1. In the corrosion process, iron metal acts as the anode in a galvanic cell and is oxidized to Fe2+; oxygen is reduced to water at the cathode. The relevant reactions are as follows: ... overall: 2Fe(s)+O2(g)+4H+(aq)→2Fe2+(aq)+2H2O(l) E°=1.68V.
