Why is the chemical reaction for rusting steel similar to combustion of fossil fuel?

Does steel have a chemical reaction?
no
Steel rain gutters are coated with zinc metal to do what?
Protect against rusting of the steel. The protection is achieved by preferential reaction of the zinc "sacrificing" itself by being oxidized, and therefore the protection does not last forever in an environment favorable to rusting.
What does saltwater do to stainless steel?
there is a chemical reaction between them.
Is rusting metal exothermic or endothermic?
It is an exothermic reaction. However, rusting of iron liberates only a small amount of heat as compared to other forms of metal corrosion.
Is rusting steel wool a physical or chemical change?
Chemical. Rusting is known as "oxidization," a chemical reaction where oxygen reacts with iron.
Is rusting iron a physical change in science?
no rusting iron is not a physical change it is a chemical change
Rusting of steel is?
A good example of an oxidation reaction. The rusting of steel is essentially just rusting (oxidation) of iron.

Is Iron rusting Chemical changes?
Rusting iron (or steel) is a chemical reaction. It is where iron reacts with water and oxygen to form iron(III) oxide. Fe + H2O + O2 -> Fe2O3.H2O Note that the equation above isn't balanced.
Does steel have a chemical reaction?
no
Is car rusting a chemical change?
Because rust forms when Iron reacts with Oxygen in the atmosphere to produce Iron oxide. Rust is a different chemical compound, with different chemical properties from either of the two chemical elements which formed it. So, a chemical change has obviously taken place.
Is there a chemical or physical change when a bicycle rusts in the rain?
Rusting is a chemical change, as steel/iron turns into iron oxide.
What is the Chemical equation for rusting steel?
A basic equation for the formation of rust is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
How effective are steel castings at preventing rusting?
Steel castings can prevent rusting depending on what the kind of steel. Carbon steel may cause rusting at a higher rate than stainless steel.
Steel rain gutters are coated with zinc metal to do what?
Protect against rusting of the steel. The protection is achieved by preferential reaction of the zinc "sacrificing" itself by being oxidized, and therefore the protection does not last forever in an environment favorable to rusting.
