what is the eqation for rusting
Answers
Explanation:
Rust is apparently a hydrated form of iron(III)oxide. The formula is approximately Fe2O3•32H2O, although the exact amount of water is variable. (Note that this is about halfway between iron(III) hydroxide, Fe(OH)3 or ½{Fe2O3•3H2O], and anhydrous Fe2O3).
