Q) Why iron get rusted?Write words equation of the reaction taking place in this process.
Answers
Answer:
Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust. Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen – both are needed for rusting to occur.
Explanation:
The formation of rust requires iron, water and oxygen. Although it's a complex process, the chemical equation is simply 4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3.
Answer:
➡ Rusting
Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture.
Rusting occurs when shiny surfaces of metal like iron get attacked by moisture or acid. This destroyes the metal.
It is often discovered that when iron articles are kept exposed to the environment gather a reddish-brown powder. This is rusting and powder gathered is rust.
