Question

write the anodic and cathodic reaction taking place during rusting​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rust, the Result of Corrosion of Metallic Iron. ... In the corrosion process, iron metal acts as the anode in a galvanic cell and is oxidized to Fe2+; oxygen is reduced to water at the cathode. The relevant reactions are as follows: at cathode: O2(g)+4H+(aq)+4e−→2H2O(l)E°=1.23V.
