Question

what is the equation of rusting

Answer 1

Rust is the common name for a very common compound, iron oxide. Iron oxide, the chemical Fe2O3, is common because iron combines very readily with oxygen -- so readily, in fact, that pure iron is only rarely found in nature. Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion
When iron is exposed to water or air over a period of time, the iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form a reddish-brown chemical compound, iron oxide. This is referred to as rust. So chemically, rust is hydrated iron(III) oxide or Fe2O3.nH2O. The chemical equation for the same is given by:
4Fe(OH)2 + O2 + xH2O → 2Fe2O3.(x+4)H2O
Iron reacts very readily with oxygen. This is one of the reasons as to why it is rare to find pure iron in nature.

Answer 2

hey mate!!

here is u r answer !!.

______________________________________

4 FE + 3 (O)2 +2xH2O --------------> 2 FeO3.xH2O.

___________________________________

CONCLUSION :-

IRON , OXYGEN ,WATER ,HYDRATED IRON(III)OXIDE (RUST).
