No. Rust is iron oxide - iron and oxygen. In most cases the oxygen comes from liquid water or from water vapor.

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.
Do react with oxygen?
Yes, oxygen is in water. Water and metal create rust.
What two substances react to make rust?
The most obvious factors necessary for the corrosion of iron (or the making of rust) is water and oxygen. Iron will not rust if it is kept away from water and oxygen
What combines with oxygen to form rust?
Water
Will iron nail rust in boiled water?
Iron must be in contact with oxygen, water (and dissolved ions) to rust. So if it was in boiled water there would be no oxygen present and as long as no oxygen was allowed to dissolve back into the water, for example if a layer of oil was on top of the water, then the iron nail would not rust.
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.
How does rust occur?
rust occures by puting it in vinegar water
What two substances are need to rust Iron?
ANSWER:oxygen and water
Do react with oxygen?
Yes, oxygen is in water. Water and metal create rust.
What makes steel rust more water or oxygen?
Oxygen.
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.
