CORROSION OF IRON
INTRODUCTION:
When the surface of iron is wet it undergoes oxidation. In this lab you will investigate whether the anode
reaction is a two-step process of iron to the iron(II) ion followed by the formation of the iron(III) ion. It
can also proceed as a one-step process of iron to iron(III) ion.
Anode (oxidation)
Two Step:
Write the equation for the half-reaction of iron to iron(II) ion, including the cell potential. 1.
The iron(II) ion may further oxidize to the iron(III) ion.
Write an equation for the half-reaction in which oxidation of iron(II) ion to iron(III) ion occurs,
including the cell potential. 2.
Add the equations 1 and 2 to create the overall reaction of iron to iron(III) performed in two steps.
Include the cell potential.
3. One Step:
Write the equation for the half-reaction of iron to iron(III) ion, including the cell potential. 4.
Cathode (reduction)
Cathodic (reduction) points occur where the iron is in contact with a metal which has a higher reduction
potential, or where the water has a high concentration of some oxidizing agent.
Write the half-reaction of neutral water, acting as an oxidizing agent. Include the cell potential. 5.
If oxygen is present in the water, it may be the oxidizing agent. Write this half-reaction including the
cell potential.
6.
In acidic solutions, hydrogen ions may act as the oxidizing agent. Write this half-reaction including the
cell potential. 7.
Complete Redox reaction
In water, OH- ions produced in the cathode (reduction) reaction, will combine with the iron ions from the
anode (oxidation) reaction and precipitate from the solution. The iron(II) hydroxide is not seen, but the
ferric hydroxide precipitates. Write an equation for the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from a
solution of iron(III) ion. 8.
If the iron (III) hydroxide is dehydrated (lose water), it forms iron(III) oxide or rust.
Write an equation for the dehydration of iron(III) hydroxide. 9.
Indicators
Potassium ferricyanide, K3Fe(CN)6, can be used to detect the presence of iron(II). (You will have to
research the answer to this one). Give both the chemical equation and the 2 colours in solution, not
solid. 10.
Phenolphthalein, a common indicator test (often used in titrations) that could be used to identify the
products of the cathodic half-reaction. Give both the equation and the 2 colours. 11. Overall
If the solution is acidic, the OH- ions will be neutralized, consider acid/base reactions. If the solution is
basic, the production of the OH- is suppressed, consider common ion and equilibrium situations. But if
the solution is neutral, the OH- ions produced in this half-reaction migrate toward the anodic points. Fe2+
and Fe2+ ions migrate from the anode to the cathode. Somewhere in-between the iron ions meet
hydroxide ions and form the hydroxides, dehydrate and form rust. The water on the surface of the iron
acts as an electrolyte, transporting ions between the anodic and cathodic points. Any dissolved salts
present in the water will aid in this charge transfer and so accelerate the corrosion.
Prediction: Use the half reactions from the previous page. Anode: 1 and 4 Cathode: 5, 6 and 7.
1. Write all the possible reactions for an Fe nail in water in an open test tube. Calculate the overall cell
potentials, determine spontaneity and describe the expected reaction observations. Verify your answers
by using the reduction table. (Note, if reaction 1 can’t occur, then 4 can’t happen either)
2. Write all the possible reactions for the spontaneous reactions for an Fe nail in acidic solution in an
open test tube. Calculate the overall cell potentials, determine spontaneity and describe the expected
reaction observations. Verify your answers by using the reduction table.

PROCEDURE: 1. Heat 100 mL of distilled water to the boil in a 250 mL beaker. Remove from the heat
and stir in 1 tsp of agar. Continue heating gently and stirring until the agar is dispersed. Share between two groups.
2. Add 5 drops of 0.1 mol/L potassium ferricyanide solution and 30 drops of 0.1%
phenolphthalein solution. Stir thoroughly. Allow to cool but do not allow the agar to set.
3. Place a nail covered in Cu wire and a nail covered with Zn in a Petri dish. 4. Cover the nails in the Petri dish with the agar mixture and place a labeled lid on the
dish. Store as directed. 5. Prepare four short finishing nails by washing them in soap to remove any protective
oil coating. 6. Place one small nail in each of four medium sized test tubes. To one add distilled
water. To the second add 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide. To the third add 0.1 mol/L hydrochloric acid. To the fourth add 0.1 mol/L sodium chloride. Set all four test tubes in a small beaker labeled with your name. Store as directed.
7. Do Not pour the extra agar solution down the drain – it will clog the drain. Scrape
out and throw in the garbage. FOLLOW-UP AND OBSERVATIONS: 8. The next lab day, make detailed diagrams on the observation sheet for the nails in the
test tube solutions. Label each observable half reaction using the numbers 1- 9 in the Introduction.
9. Test the solutions with pH paper, record. 10. Next add a drop or two of potassium ferricyanide to each test tube and note any
colour change. Record observations same as above.
