Question

What is rust and rusting? Write the chemical name and formula of rust. Mention some ways
to prevent rusting​

Answer 1

Answer:

The formation of bonds between iron atoms and oxygen atoms makes iron oxides. The rusting of iron includes an upsurge in the oxidation state of iron with a loss of electrons. The rust chemical formula can be written as Fe2O3. 3H2O (hydrated iron (III) oxide).

Answer 2

Answer:

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. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circumstances.[1] Rust consists of hydrated ironoxides Fe2O3·nH2O and iron oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3).

Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Many other metals undergo similar corrosion, but the resulting oxides are not commonly called rust.
