Chapter 17.12, Problem 17.21CE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given environments have to be ranked in order of their relative rates of corrosion of iron.  A suitable explanation for the answer is to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

The corrosion is the conversion of metal to its metal oxides or hydroxides.  Metals generally get corrode due to the oxidation-reduction reactions.  When iron metal comes in contact with air and moisture, it gets oxidized.  The formation of iron oxide takes place.  This process is known as corrosion.

A pdf file of your hand drawn, stepwise mechanisms for the reactions. For each reaction in the assignment, you must write each mechanism three times (there are 10 reactions, so 30 mechanisms). (A) do the work on a tablet and save as a pdf., it is expected to write each mechanism out and NOT copy and paste the mechanism after writing it just once. Everything should be drawn out stepwise and every bond that is formed and broken in the process of the reaction, and is expected to see all relevant lone pair electrons and curved arrows.
