What is the equation that best describes the oxidation of iron by oxygen in the presence of moisture? Hint: Be sure to consider the oxidation numbers when determining the equation.
A) Fe2+(aq) + H2O(aq) + O2(g) FeO(s) + H2(g) + O2(g)
B) 4 H+(aq) + 2Fe(s) + O2(g) 2H2O(l) + 2Fe2+ (aq)
C) 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) + 2xH2O 2Fe2O3·xH2O(s)
D) Fe(s) + 2H2O(aq) + O2(g) Fe(OH) 2(s) + H2O2(l)
E) 2Fe(s) + 6H2O(aq) + O2(g) 2Fe(OH) 3(s) + 3H2(g) + O2(g)
