Answer:
It is Rusting of Iron
Explanation:
When iron and its alloys are subjected to moisture for a long period of time ,they undergo oxidation i.e reacts with oxygen present in air ( and water )and formed hydrated iron oxide (Fe2O3.nH2O). This is red oxide formed there thatwhy give reddish brown color. This slow process in general known as rusting of iron.
Equation-
4Fe + 3O2+6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3
