Answer 1

Answer:

Basic reaction is Oxidation.

Answer 2

The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons.
