What else can I help you with?
Does iron rust when not in water?
Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen. They rust faster in salty water or acid rain
What is the metal that needs to be present for rust to occur?
FE or Iron
What chemical reactions occur in rust?
rust oxidizes when exposed to water
What has to be present for rust?
oxegon and water
How does corrosion?
Rust? It's oxidation. More likely to occur with moisture present.
Which two substances must be present for an iron object to rust?
For the oxidation of iron to occur, that is for ferric oxide to form, there must be oxygen present. There must also be water present.
What is iron changing to rust when it reacts with water?
Iron is being oxidised by the to make iron oxide and this reaction cannot occur if water is not present. the water does not get used up in this reaction it is only a catalyst
How does corrosion occurs?
Rust? It's oxidation. More likely to occur with moisture present.
What will rust?
Both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur.Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen. Both are present in the air.
Will nails rust in water?
Nails do not rust in water. Nails only rust in water if oxygen is present. This is because the iron in nails react with oxygen and water to form a compound called hydrated iron(III) oxide.
What components are needed for oxidation to occur?
what must be present for oxidation-reduction to occur?
What is the role of moisture in formation of rust?
moisture contains water which is essential for rusting to occur. Rusting can't occur unless oxygen and water are available . 4Fe + 6(O2) + X(H2o) --->2( Fe2O3).X H2o X depends on the amount of water present .. hope this helps
