The process of iron being oxidized to make iron (III) oxide (rust) is spontaneous. Which of these statements about this process is/ are true?
- The reduction of iron (III) oxide to iron is also spontaneous.
- Because the process is spontaneous, the oxidation of iron must be fast.
- The oxidation of iron is endothermic.
- Equilibrium is achieved in a closed system when the rate of iron oxidation is equal to the rate of iron (III) oxide reduction.
- The energy of the universe is decreased when iron is oxidized to rust.
