Question

10) Aluminum doesn’t readily corrode because:

its standard reduction potential is more positive than oxygen

its standard reduction potential is more negative than oxygen

it forms a dense coating of alumina, Al2O3, that slows oxidation.

It is already oxidized.

.

11) What best describes a glass?

A transparent, crystalline insulator.

A viscous liquid

An amorphous solid

The thermodynamic (lowest energy) state for a material

.

For the following reaction answer questions 13 & 14):

                       Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq)            Fe2+(aq) + Cu(s)

13) What is being oxidized (oxidant)?

Fe2+

Cu2+

Cu

Fe

.

14) What is being reduced (reductant)?

Fe2+

Cu2+

Cu

Fe

Please answer all of them without guessing!!! Thanks

Explanation / Answer

10)

The reduction potential of Al and O2 are -1.66 V and -0.56 V respectively.

The reduction potential of Al is more negative than Oxygen.

Thus, the correct option is 2.

11)

Glass is a transparent, crystalline insulator.

13)

the element oxidized is Fe.

14)

The species reduced is Cu2+.
