Rusting of iron is an example of a redox reaction. During rusting, iron combines with oxygen in the presence of water. This is an oxidation reaction where oxygen acts as an oxidising agent. Since oxygen also combines with the metal iron, this is a reduction reaction, where the metal iron acts as a reducing agent.

Answer 2

Answer:

no

Rusting is a oxidation reaction

because rust is formed when iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide. The cathode, or electrode where reduction takes place, is the iron surface there. The electrons are gained by oxygen, and it is reduced to hydroxide ions.
