Pure Iron (Fe) doesn't directly react with water, but it will oxidize (rust), especially if the iron is just wet and is exposed to air a lot. I believe iron will eventually oxidize if kept completely underwater too, but as there is less free Oxygen for it to react with down there, it is a longer process.

What happen when iron reacts with salt water?
Rust ( iron hydrated oxides) are formed.
Is there iron on moon?
No. Water and oxygen reacts with iron to form rust.
How does colbalt react with water?
Cobalt reacts with Iron! RL ROCKS!
What is the chemical equation when metallic iron reacts with water?
Iron does not react with pure water. Dissolved oxygen reacts with iron. Rust is a complex mixture of iron oxides, and hydroxide and hydrated oxides. See the link for a reasonably detailed explanation.
Why is rusting of iron fast in rainy season?
Iron rusts because it reacts with oxygen. The oxygen in water reacts with iron quicker than oxygen in air, and the air outside is often damp, and there is the rain as well.
Which reacts first in water copper or iron?
None of them act violently with water, but the answer is Iron because Copper only reacts with dilute acids.
What reacts with iron to make rust?
Water. ---------- Oxygen
What happen when iron reacts with salt water?
Rust ( iron hydrated oxides) are formed.
When iron oxide is made does the iron take the oxygen out of the water or out of the air?
It takes the oxygen from air because without the presence of air, iron cannot turn into ferric oxide. The iron first reacts with air and then reacts with water to form rust.
What minerals are iron oxides?
Iron oxide is rust. It is formed when the element iron reacts with oxygen in the water or air.
What is the main compound found in rust?
oxygen and iron, the oxygen in the air or water reacts with the iron
