A group of students were tasked to perform the metal coupling of iron nail similar to Experiment 3: Corrosion of Metals. They were given two metals, metal Q and metal J, to couple to iron nail. They prepared an agar medium with K3Fe(CN)6 and phenolphthalein. Their professor informed them that metal Q forms an orange color while metal J forms maroon color when oxidized. Their professors also gave them the reduction half-reactions for the corresponding metal ions including the reduction of Fe2+. J2+ + 2e- → J Eo = - 1.66 v Fe2+ + 2e- → Fe Eo = - 0.44 v Q2+ + 2e- → Q Eo = - 0.25 v O2 + 2H2O + 4e- → 4OH- Eo = + 0.40 v

A group of students were tasked to perform the metal coupling of iron nail similar to Experiment 3: Corrosion of Metals. They were given two metals, metal Q and metal J, to couple to iron nail. They prepared an agar medium with K3Fe(CN)6 and phenolphthalein. Their professor informed them that metal Q forms an orange color while metal J forms maroon color when oxidized. Their professors also gave them the reduction half-reactions for the corresponding metal ions including the reduction of Fe2+.

J2+ + 2e- → J                                   Eo = - 1.66 v

Fe2+ + 2e- → Fe                                Eo = - 0.44 v

Q2+ + 2e- → Q                                  Eo = - 0.25 v

O2 + 2H2O + 4e- → 4OH-               Eo = + 0.40 v

Which is the reduction process that occurred for Fe nail coupled with metal Q?
A
j2+ + 2e-→J
B
Fe2+ + 2e - → Fe
0,+2H,0+4e-→40H -
D
Q2+ + 2e - → Q
