Question

What is Rusting of Iron? What are factors that affect rusting?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust. Here is the word equation for the reaction: iron + water + oxygen → hydrated iron(III) oxide.

There are several factors influencing the rate of corrosion including diffusion, temperature, conductivity, type of ions, pH value and electrochemical potential that affects rusting.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rust is a chemical reaction of iron that occurs over a period of time as the bare metal surface comes it contact with oxygen present in the air or water. factors affecting rusting are temperature , diffusion, and conductivity
