Observe the following picture a
write down the chemical reaction
with explanation.
Collected rust
Water drop
Fe,0,H0
Fe2+ (aq)
Cathode
Anode
0 + 2H,0 + 40 -> 40H
Fe -> Fe + 20
0, + 4H+ + 4e -> 2H,0
Iron​

Answer 1

Answer:

(1) Fe is oxidised to Fe2++ in the anode region

Fe(s) gives Fe2+(aq) + 2 e-

(2) O2 is reduced to form water in in the cathode region.

O2(g) + 4H+(aq) +4e- gives 2H2O(l)

When Fe2+ ions migrate from the anode region they react with water and further get oxidised to form Fe3+ ions

A reddish coloured hydrated oxide is formed from Fe3+ ions.It is called rust. It collect on the surface.

2Fe3+( aq) + 4H2O(l) gives Fe2O3.H20(s)+ 6H(aq)

Iron starts rusting and a reddish coloured layer is collected on it. That is nothing but hydrated ferric oxide This process is corrosion of iron.
