Answer 1

Answer:

it can be called combustion but process of rusting is low combustion

Answer 2

Explanation:

The process of rusting cannot be called combustion due to the following reasons :

1.Combustion produces energy in the form of heat. No energy is obtained in a rusting process.

2.Combustion is a chemical process in which a combustible substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light whereas in rusting, a metal reacts with oxygen to produce metallic oxide.

3.Rusting is a very slow process compared to combustion.

4.Rusting can take place at room temperature whereas combustion takes place only at a specific ignition temperature.
