how does rusting take place? write chemical reaction too.
Answers
Explanation:
A chemical reaction occurs between metal atoms, and oxygen atoms. In the case of iron, this reaction produces iron oxide, which is rust. ... In fact, O2 is“rusting" YOU, as we speak!
CHEMICAL FORMULA
The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3. Rust is formed when ironreacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equationrepresents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidationreaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons.
Answer:
But what exactly is rust? Rust is usually used to refer to a very common, reddish-brown compound called iron oxide (Fe2O3). Iron oxide is formed when iron and oxygen react in the presence of water or moisture in the air.
Iron oxide is very common, because iron reacts easily with oxygen in the air.
Explanation:
4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3.
