What is the definition of oxidized metal?
The following is an excerpt from an article on The Balance:
"When Does Oxidation Occur?This chemical process can occur either in air or after metal is exposed to water or acids. The most common example is the corrosion of steel, which is a transformation of the iron molecules on steel's surface into iron oxides, most often Fe2O3 and Fe3O4.
The official Nobel Prize website explains the process as follows:
"As the oxide layer grows, the rate of electron transfer decreases. The corrosion stops and the metal is made passive. The oxidation process may continue, however, if the electrons succeed in entering the metal through cracks or impurities in the metal or if the oxide layer is dissolved."
If you've ever seen an old, rusted car or rusted pieces of metal scraps, you've seen corrosion at work."

Reflection Questions:
1. How did you use your research in your studio process? Be specific.
2. How did the studio process help you better understand your research and redox reactions in general? Again, use specific examples.
