  2. Rust - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust

    Rust scale forming and flaking off from a steel bar heated to its forging temperature of 1200°C. Rapid oxidation occurs when heated steel is exposed to air. Rust is a general name for a complex of oxides and hydroxides of iron, [4] which occur when iron or some alloys that contain iron are exposed to oxygen and moisture for a long period of ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    The symbol represents a "third body", a molecular species that is required to carry away energy from the exothermic reaction 2.Equation 4 relates the concentrations of NO x and ozone, and is known as the Leighton relationship.

  4. Rust converter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_converter

    Rust converters are chemical solutions or primers that can be applied directly to an iron or iron alloy surface to convert iron oxides into a protective chemical barrier. These compounds interact with iron oxides, especially iron(III) oxide , converting them into an adherent black layer ( black oxide ) that is more resistant to moisture and ...

    Also acid ionization constant or acidity constant. A quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution expressed as an equilibrium constant for a chemical dissociation reaction in the context of acid-base reactions. It is often given as its base-10 cologarithm, p K a. acid–base extraction A chemical reaction in which chemical species are separated from other acids and bases. acid ...

    Transition metal complexes of N 2 have been studied since 1965 when the first complex was reported by Allen and Senoff. [3] This diamagnetic complex, [Ru(NH 3) 5 (N 2)] 2+, was synthesized from hydrazine hydrate and ruthenium trichloride and consists of a [Ru(NH 3) 5] 2+ centre attached to one end of N 2.

  7. Corrosion - Wikipedia

    Corrosion is a natural process that converts a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. It is the gradual deterioration of materials (usually a metal) by ...

  8. Redox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redox

    The term corrosion refers to the electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen. Rusting, the formation of iron oxides, is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion: it forms as a result of the oxidation of iron metal. Common rust often refers to iron(III) oxide, formed in the following chemical reaction:
