Yes, rusting in a car involves a redox reaction where iron in the metal reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust). In this reaction, iron is oxidized from its elemental state to iron oxide, while oxygen is reduced to form water.


Is rusting a 'physical' reaction?

Yes, rusting is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide (rust). It is not solely a physical reaction, as it involves the breaking and formation of chemical bonds between the iron and oxygen atoms.

Is car rusting physical change?

No, a car rusting is a chemical change because a new substance is formed. Iron will react with oxygen (found in water) forming iron oxide. The product, iron oxide, has different properties from both iron and oxygen. A "chemical change" describes any reaction where a new substance is formed. However, if a substance just changes forms, it is a physical change. For example, water freezing is a physical change.
