Problem- We learned that iron pipes can form rust very easily. In the initial reaction, iron metal interacts with O2 and H?+ to form an iron cation and water.
Fe(s) + ½O2(g) + 2H?+?(aq) ? Fe2+?(aq) + H2O
Which statement about this phenomenon is not correct?
a) This is a spontaneous reaction.
b) Fe2+ (aq) continues to react to form rust
c) This is not a redox reaction.
d) Water is the source for the H+ in this reaction.
My main issue is that I think I have to have a balanced reaction in order to do the calculations
