This data indicates that water becomes increasingly dissociated and hence acidic as the temperature rises (Figure 18.7). The increase in the ionic product of water, K , with temperature accounts for the corrosive action of hot pure water on iron pipes this behaviour is caused by the increase in concentration of hydrogen ions. The pH decreases with an increase in temperature but the solution is still described as chemically neutral since the concentrations of hydroxide and hydrogen ions remain equal.

Why the dramatic effect of water on the rate of loss of material As an example we shall look at iron, immersed in aerated water (Fig. 23.2). 

The corrosivity of a natural water depends on the concentration and type of impurity dissolved in it and especially on its oxygen content. Waters of similar oxygen content have generally similar corrosivities, e.g. well-aerated quiescent sea-water corrodes cast iron at ratesof 0 05-0-1 mm/y while most well-aerated quiescent fresh waters corrode iron at O Ol-O-1 mm/y. 

The spent acid from trinitration has also been the cause of several disasters, although it had been considered safe to handle. The most noteworthy example of this occurred in the Reinsdorf factory in Germany in 1935. The hot spent acid flowed down to open iron tanks, where, as the liquid cooled, a mixture of di- and tri-nitrotoluenes rose to the surface. It was skimmed off from time to time and transferred to a washing tank, where it was washed with water. On skimming, a rubber glove and a sheif left bn the brim of the tank with some... 

Let s look in more detail at the processes. A drop of water on the surface of iron can act as the electrolyte for corrosion in a tiny electrochemical cell (Fig. 12.18). At the edge of the drop, dissolved oxygen oxidizes the iron in the process...

Nitrophenylpyruvic acid was reduced to oxindole using iron pin-dust-ferrous sulfate in water. The iron oxide-iron residues, after filtering and washing with chloroform, rapidly heated in contact with air and shattered the Buchner funnel [1], Previously, rapid heating effects had been observed on sucking air through the iron oxide residues from hot filtration of aqueous liquor from reduction of a nitro compound with reduced iron powder [2],... 

Water soluble iron porphyrins [Fem(TPPS)(H20) ]3-330 and [Fem(TMPy)(H20)2]5+ 331 332 (TPPS = maso-tetrakis(/ -sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin, TMPyP = / /e.vo-tetrakis(7V-methyl-4-pyridi-nium)porphyrin331 or maso-tetrakis (A -methyl-2-pyridinium)porphyrin332 dications) act as effective electrocatalysts for the reduction of nitrite to ammonia in aqueous electrolytes (Equation (64) Ei/2= 0.103 V vs. SCE at pH 7), with NH2OH or N20 also appearing as products depending on the reaction conditions. Nitric oxide then ligates to the iron(III) porphyrin to form a nitrosyl complex [Fen(P)(NO+)] (P = porphyrin) as intermediate.
