What is rusting of iron?

Question

Answer

Rust is an iron oxide, a usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circumstances. Rust consists of hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2O and this whole process is called 'rusting of iron'

Answer

Leave a piece of iron in open for some days after somedays,you will see a film of brownish substance on it .This is called rust and this process is called rusting

Answer

When iron articles come in contact of air in presence of moisture it gets convert into rust. Iron ( Fe) + oxygen ( o2- air) + water ( h2o) - rust ( ironoxide fe2o3

Answer

When an iron object come in the contact with air and water its causes rust on that iron object. This is called rusting.

Answer

The rusting is the process by which iron metal in the presence of oxygen and moisture form a layer of iron oxide on the iron object the reaction of rusting is as follows;4Fe+3O2+2xH2O------2Fe2O3.xH2O.Here x is the molecules of water.The rusting of iron is redox reaction which include both reduction and oxidation.

Answer

The process of conversion of ion into its oxide in the presence of air and water

Answer

The process in which iron reacts with air moisture to form brownish surface called rust i.e. ferric oxide is called rusting.

Answer

Yes it is a process by which article when exposed in open air (oxygen + water vapour)  for a brownish film over its outer surface is known as a rusting
