Question 32

(Short Answer)

The figure below shows anaerobic corrosion of a piece of steel accelerated by the action of anaerobic microorganisms. What should be on label 2? The figure below shows anaerobic corrosion of a piece of steel accelerated by the action of anaerobic microorganisms. What should be on label 2?   a. Elemental sulfur and iron directly react to produce  <span class=FeS \mathrm{FeS} . b. Iron reduces H2 S:4Fe+SO+4H2OFeS+3Fe2++8OH \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}: 4 \mathrm{Fe}+\mathrm{SO}+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightarrow \mathrm{FeS}+3 \mathrm{Fe}^{2+}+8 \mathrm{OH} c. Acid rain is produced: H2O+1/2O2+2NO22HNO3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+1 / 2 \mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{NO}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3} d. Acid rain is produced: 2H2O+3O2+4NO4HNO3 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}+4 \mathrm{NO} \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{HNO}_{3} e. Acid rain is produced: 2H2O+O2+2SO22H2SO4 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4} " class="answers-bank-image d-block" loading="lazy" >
