Chemically clean an iron nail from rust, assuming that the composition of the rust includes iron

Chemically clean an iron nail from rust, assuming that the composition of the rust includes iron oxide (3) and iron hydroxide (3)

To remove rust from a nail, you need to find a substance that will react with iron oxide and iron (III) hydroxide to form new substances.

Sulfuric acid can be such a substance.

The equations of chemical reactions are as follows:

2Fe (OH) 3 + 3H2SO4 = Fe2 (SO4) 3 + 6H2O.

Fe2O3 + 3H2SO4 = Fe2 (SO4) 3 + 3H2O.



One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
