Here's your answer
thechemical reaction in which iron (Fe) combines with oxygen (O2) to form rust, or iron oxide (Fe2O3). the equation for this reaction is: 4Fe+ 3O2 → 2Fe2O.

The following chemical equation to show the process of metal corrosion is:
- Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O 2, from the air) + water (H 2 O) corrosion (iron oxide, Fe 2 O 3).
- Iron corrosion is considered a chemical change due to the formation of new iron oxide in the process.
- The reaction of oxidation of iron and oxygen to form what is commonly called rust occurs as follows.
- 4Fe + 3O 2 = 2Fe 2O 3.
- A chemical equation represents a chemical reaction using the symbols and formulas of the elements involved.
- To write the chemical formula of an object, the chemical symbols of all the elements are written and the atomic number of each element is written as the 34th text to the right of its symbol.
- Example: Nitric acid contains one hydrogen atom, one nitrogen atom, and three oxygen atoms.
