Answer»

`Fe_(3)O_(4)`
`FeO.xH_(2)O`

2.

Chemically rust is

Answer»

`Fe(OH)_(3)`
`Fe(OH)_(2)`
`Fe_(2)O_(3)`
`Fe_(2)O_(3).xH_(2)O`

Solution :Rust is an hydrated oxide of iron, mainly `Fe_(2)O_(3).xH_(2)O` formed on the surface of iron when it is exposed to moisture and air.
CONSIDER the rusting that occurs when a drop of water is in contact with iron. The edge of the water drop exposed to the air becomes one POLE of a voltaic CELL. At this edge, molecular `O_(2)` from air is reduced to hydroxide ion in solution.
`O_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(l)+4e^(-) rarr 4OH^(-)(aq.)`
The electrons for this reduciton are supplied by the oxidation of metallic iron to the edge of the drop. Thus, the metallic iron funcations, as the ecternal circuit between the cell poles. IONS move within the water drop, completing the electric circuit, Iron `(II)` iron move outward from tghe center of the drop, and hydroxide ions move inward from the edge. The two ions meet in a doughnut-shaped region, where they react to precipitate iron `(II)` hydroxide.
`Fe^(2+)(aq.)+2OH^(-)(aq.) rarr Fe(OH)_(2)(s)`
This precipitate is quickly oxidized by `O_(2)` to rust (approxi-mated by the formula `Fe_(2)O_(3).H_(2)O)`.
`4Fe^(OH)_(2)(s)+O_(2)(g) rarr 2Fe_(2)O_(3).H_(2)O(s)+2H_(2)O(l)`
Thus rust is formed between the anode and cathode. We can REGARD rust as a mixture of `Fe_(2)O_(3)` and `Fe(OH)_(3)`.

Chemical reactions involve interaction of atoms and molecules. A large number of atoms/molecules (approximately 6.023xx10^(23)) are present in a few grams of any chemical compound varying with their atomic/molecular masses. To handle such large numbers conveniently, the mole concept was introduced. this concept has implications in diverse areas such as analytical chemistry, biochemistry, electrochemistry and radiochemistry. The following example illustrates a typical case, involving chemical/electrochemical reaction, which requires a clear understanding of the mole concept. A 4.0 molar aqueous solution of NaCl is prepared and 500 mL of this solution is electrolysed. This leads to the evolution of chlorine gas at one of the electrodes (atomic mass: Na=23, Hg=200, 1 Faraday=96500 coulombs). Q.The total (coulombs) required for complete electrolysis is

Solution :500 ml of 4.0 molar NACL has 2 mole of NaCl.
By electrolysis we can get a maximum of 2 mole of sodium which can combine with exactly 2 moles of mercury to give AMALGAM.
`THEREFORE` The maximum WEIGHT of amalgam which can be formed from this solution
=weight of 2 mole of sodium+weight of 2 mole of mercury

Chemical reactions are invariably assocated with the transfer of energy either in the form of heat or light. In the laboratory, heat changes in physical and chemical processes are measured with an instrument called calorimeter. Heat change in the process is calculated as: q= ms DeltaT, s= specific heat = c Delta T, c= heat capacity Heat of reaction at constant volume is measured using bomb calorimeter. qv= Delta U= internal energy change. Heat of reaction at constant pressure is measured using simple or water calorimeter. q_(p) = Delta H, q_(p) = q_(v) + P Delta V, DeltaH = DeltaU + Delta nRT The amount of energy released during a chemical change depnds on the physical state of reactants and products, the condition of pressure,temperature and volume at which the reaction is carried out. The variation of heat of reaction with temperature and pressure is givenby Kirchhoff's equation: (DeltaH_(2)- DeltaH_(1))/(TT_(2)-T_(1)) = DeltaC_(P) (At constant pressure), (DeltaU_(2)- DeltaU_(1))/(TT_(2)-T_(1)) = DeltaC_(V) (At constant volume) DeltaC_(P) for a reaction is given by 0.2T cal/deg.
