Chapter 2, Problem 86A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reason for the mass of rust to be greater than the mass of powdered iron needs to be explained.

Concept Introduction: Oxidation of metal takes place when they are exposed to air or moisture. Here, the reaction of metal and oxygen takes place to form metal oxide.

Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

When the iron powder is left in the air or exposed to the air, it gets oxidized to form rust. This is called corrosion. In this process, a chemical reaction between iron metal and oxygen takes place to form iron oxide. According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor destroyed and the total mass of reactant is always equal to the total mass of product formed.

Therefore, the mass of iron and oxygen is equal to the mass of iron rust. Since the mass of rust is the sum of masses of powdered iron and oxygen, thus, the mass of the rust is greater than the mass of powdered iron.
