Question

What is rusting? Write its chemical equations.​

Answer 1

$\huge \quad\quad \underline{ \tt{{Answer}}}$

Rusting of iron is the most familiar example of corrosion. It is a process in which an iron reacts with atmospheric oxygen and moisture to form a reddish brown substance iron oxide, which is commonly known as rust.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rust is an iron oxide, formed by iron and oxygen reacting in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rusting is an oxidation reaction. This means it involves oxygen reacting with something (in this case, iron in the presence of moisture).

The chemical formula for rusting:

4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe (OH)3
