Rusting of an iron is an oxidation process. In acid medium iron undergoes corrosion rapidly when compared to basic medium. Because in acid medium hydrogen gas is formed, so oxidation (rusting) of iron is faster. But if concentrated base is present, then also corrosion rate is increased when compared to neutral or aqueous medium.
