The Figure Below Shows Anaerobic Corrosion of a Piece of Steel

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   \mathrm{FeS}  . b. Iron reduces   \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:   \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+1 / 2 \mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{NO}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{HNO}_{3}   d. Acid rain is produced:   2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+3 \mathrm{O}_{2}+4 \mathrm{NO} \rightarrow 4 \mathrm{HNO}_{3}   e. Acid rain is produced:   2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_{2}+2 \mathrm{SO}_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}
a. Elemental sulfur and iron directly react to produce 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}
