No.

The vast majority of the weight of iron comes from things that are unaffected by the flow of electrons -- protons, neutrons, and bound electrons.

Iron is packed full of movable electrons, but when electrons flow through it,

just as many electrons enter one end as exit the other end.

It's like a garden hose full of water --

it weights just as much when the water is practically motionless inside the hose

as when the water is swiftly flowing through the hose,

because there is the same amount of water inside the hose in both cases.

The weight is constant during the flow and after the flow is turned off.

Why is rusting of iron an undesirable change?

Rusting of iron is an undesirable change because the layer of rust formed fall off, exposing the metal to further rusting .As result, iron objects become weak with passage of time.


When iron rusts does its weight increase or decrease?

Actually it doesn't affect its weight at all. During the chemical change that occurs when iron rusts, the weight does not change because weight never changes during a chemical reaction because nothing new is being created nor destroyed, only combined.

Will iron lose weight while rusting?

No. In fact, iron will gain weight because of the added weight of the oxygen.

Which one is a chemical change rusting of iron or melting of iron?

Rusting of iron is a chemical change because it involves a reaction with oxygen to form iron oxide. Melting of iron is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of the iron.


A 2 KW iron is used on a 100 V AC mains The current in the iron is?

The current in the iron can be calculated using the formula P = V * I, where P is power (2 kW = 2000 W), V is voltage (100 V), and I is the current. Rearranging the formula to solve for I, we get I = P / V. Substituting the values, the current in the iron is 20 A.


Why rusting of iron is called an undesirable change?
