Iron metal reacts in moist air by oxidation to give a hydrated iron oxide. This does not protect the iron surface to further reaction since it flakes off, exposing more iron metal to oxidation.

What are three metals that react with air and water in the atmosphere?
Aluminum, copper, and iron.
What happens when iron react with air?
When iron reacts with air, they form ferric oxide.
Does iron reacts with water?
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.
How does iron react with deionized water?
it will rust
Why iron rust slowly in moist air?
I don't know whether the main question is why iron rustsor why does it rust slowly but i will answer bothiron rusts in air because air contains oxygen and water.and for rusting to occur, you NEED both oxygen and water..why it rusts slowly because , although air has an abundance of oxygen (~30%) water does not (~1%) and that is why it rusts slowly. because there is lesser water in the air to react with the iron and oxygen.
Was does iron react with?
Iron can react with water in the presence of air and form rust.
What are three metals that react with air and water in the atmosphere?
Aluminum, copper, and iron.
Do water and air cause chemical weathering?
is because they react to the iron and form rust
How do air and water cause chemical weathering?
is because they react to the iron and form rust
Does iron react with air?
yes
What happens when iron react with air?
When iron reacts with air, they form ferric oxide.
Does hydrochloric acid need air to react with iron?
No, hydrochloric acid does not need air to react with iron. When hydrochloric acid reacts with iron, you will notice the reaction because of the bubbling.
Will iron react with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.
Does iron react in cold water?
Iron will slowly rust in cold water.
What similarities iron have a similar reaction with water as potassium?
Potassium react violent with water, iron react only if oxygen is present.

What component of air do iron and sodium react with?
Oxygen
