Explain:Rusting of iron
Answers
Answer:
The phenomenon of formation of reddish brown layer on the iron material due to moisture and oxygen is known as rusting.
Answer:
Rusting Of Iron. Rusting of iron refers to the formation of rust, a mixture of iron oxides, on the surface of iron objects or structures. This rust is formed from a redox reaction between oxygen and iron in an environment containing water (such as air containing high levels of moisture).
Explanation:
Metals reacts with atmospheric oxygen and produces metal oxides that are basic in nature because they react with water to form bases.
The iron reacts with the oxygen present in air and moisture and develops rust.
The chemical reaction in which iron (Fe) combines with oxygen (O2) to form rust, or iron oxide (Fe2O3).
The equation for this reaction is: 4Fe+ 3O2 ->2Fe2O.
