    Corrosion as an exothermic reaction

    Name:
    Background: Corrosion of iron and steel is generally a slow reaction as iron (III) oxide (rust)
    forms a layer that protects the metal below. Rusting only affects the deeper layers of metal
    when the surface layer of rust flakes off. Acetic acid can speed up this rate of reaction by
    stripping away layers of iron (III) oxide and exposing the metal below. As a result, corrosion
    occurs continuously.
    Having been provided with the background knowledge above, Carry OShin has decided to
    conduct an investigation on corrosion as an exothermic reaction. She has devised the
    following aim, hypothesis and method. The following materials are available within the
    investigation:

    Steel wool
    Acetic acid (vinegar)
    Rubber gloves

    2 x 500mL beakers
    Tongs
    Thermometre

    Directions:
    Carry OShin has made several errors in the way in which she has designed her experiment
    and formed a hypothesis. Your task is to rewrite Carrys aim, hypothesis and method,
    forming a suitable aim, hypothesis and planning safe procedures.
    Aim: To demonstrate that when a reaction is exothermic, iron oxide must be one of the
    reactants.
    Hypothesis: A reaction will occur in the experiment.
    Method:
    1. Put steel wool in a beaker.
    2. Soak the steel wool in vinegar for between 1 and 10 minutes
    3. Remove the steel wool from the vinegar using your hands. If you dont want to use
    your hands, ask another group member to remove the steel wool. Place the steel
    wool in an unused beaker
    4. Touch the steel wool and write in a results table down whether the steel wool feels
    hot or cold
    5. Measure the temperate of the wool by writing down whether it is hotter or colder
    every minute until the temperature stops changing
    6. Once the reaction has stopped changing, look closely at the steel wool and record
    your observations on some scrap paper
    7. Return to your seats to complete the experimental write up as someone else will
    surely clean up your investigation
