Question

Define rusting?????formula of Rust​

Answer 1

Answer:

Electrochemical corrosion of iron or steel, caused by the flow of electric current between different parts of the metal serving as anodes and cathodes of a cell. Rusting requires water and oxygen to occur, and is accelerated in the presence of acids and other electrolytes.

Rusting occurs when iron is exposed to oxygen in air and water or water vapor. ... This process of rust formation in presence of oxygen and water or water vapor is called rusting.

Explanation:

The chemical equation for the formation of rust is: Iron + Water + Oxygen = Rust. i.e. 4 Fe(s) + 6 H2O(l) + 3 O2(g) → 4 Fe(OH)3(s) Then Fe(OH)3 dehydrates to produce Fe2O3.nH2O(s). Thereby, the chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3.nH2O.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rusting:-

corrosion of iron is called rusting.The attack of any chemical or action of air and moisture on iron metal is simply called rusting....

formula of rust:-

Fe2O3.xH2O
