Question

can rusting of iron take place in distilled water

Answer 1

Yes, rusting is a reaction between iron and oxygen or we can say that it is a redox reaction. Distilled water also has oxygen dissolved in it. So the iron will react with the oxygen present in the water and it will form a layer of rust or Iron oxide. Hence, rusting of iron can take place in distilled water

Answer 2

Answer:

Hope my answer will help you

Explanation:

Distilled water can readily absorb oxygen from the atmosphere when compared to normal tap water (since tap water will already have dissolved impurities in it). This will as a result help in rusting. So yes, rusting of iron can take place in distilled water, provided it is not a closed system.
