Question

Similarities between combustions and rusting of metals???

Answer 1

Thanks for asking the question.

Rusting and combustion are two different chemical reactions. Combustion is the complete burning of a substance in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water whereas rusting is the reaction of a metal with water to form metal oxide. THE ONLY SIMILARITY BETWEEN BOTH THE REACTIONS IS THAT THEY TAKE PLACE IN THE PRESENCE OF FREE OXYGEN.

Hope it helps.
