Rusting+SC


 * Rusting SC: 4Fe + 3O **** 2 **** -> 2FeO **** 3 (addition reaction) **

Iron
 * a metal that’s atomic number is 26.
 * Forms much of the earths inner and outer cores and the earth as a whole
 * Very common on rocky planets due to its high production with a fusion of high mass-stars
 * Has been used since ancient times
 * Used as active site of many redox enzymes in the cellular respiration, oxidation, and reduction in plants and animals

Oxygen ¶1 Iron is the 26th element on the elemental table. It is a metal that is the most common element on the earths surface (nearly 5.6% of the earths crust). Due to the fusion of high mass-stars making it very common on rocky planets such as earth. Iron is also an active site for many of the earths redox enzymes in cellular respiration, oxidation, and reduction in plants an animals. It is said by archeologist that humans have been using iron for over 5,000 years. Oxygen is the 8th element on the periodic table whose name originates from Greek roots meaning “acid forming”. Oxygen makes up over 21% of the earths atmosphere but only the third most common element in the universe, about 2/3rds of the human body and 9/10ths of the water on earth. It was discovered by //__ Carl Wilhelm Scheele __// in __Uppsala__ in 1773 or maybe even earlier but the element was named by the French scientist //__Antoine Lavoisier__////. -Michael// ¶2 This is the only way that anyone can make something rust is when iron comes in contact with oxygen. The first thing that happens when something like iron rusts is when you leave iron outside and it starts to rain. You forgot that it was outside and a few more days you remember about it but it doesn’t look the same because it has rusted. The reason for this reaction is that if iron would come in contact with rain, hail, or snow well those are all water. If iron is outside on your porch then it will rust because it was in contact with water. An example of something that would be able to rust would be a screw driver that is why we need to keep them in good condition because iron is a big part of are economy and that is why we need to keep them out of waters reach and in dry places. .- Savanna G.
