No it is not a gas, it is a solid... a oxide.
The oxygen gas in rust comes from the oxidation of iron when it reacts with oxygen in the air or water. This reaction forms iron oxide, commonly known as rust, and releases oxygen gas as a byproduct.
Oxygen Gas
The gas that forms rust with water and iron is oxygen. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen and water in a process called oxidation.
Oxygen (O2) is the gas.
Oxygen gas is needed for iron to rust. When iron is exposed to oxygen and moisture in the air, a chemical reaction occurs that forms iron oxide, which is known as rust.
No. Nitrogen is a nonmetal, which is a gas at standard temperature. Only metals rust or corrode.
Oxygen is the only gas which rust the metals.
It will cause the tank to rust.
air
oxygen and water vapour.
The gas that makes a wet iron nail rust is oxygen. When iron comes into contact with oxygen in the presence of water, it undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation, forming iron oxide, which is the rust that we see.
Hydrogen gas is not involved in rusting.
