How is rusting in an enothermic reaction applied in everyday life?
Rusting is an eXothermic reaction, not an eNDothermic.
Is freeezing endothermic or exothermic?
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
Is rusting of iron an endothermic process?
According to the definition of an exo/endo-thermic compound, all metallic oxides (rusty metals) are exothemic compounds, since their forming reaction starting from elemenets (Me + O2) is called rusting as an example of an exothermic reaction.

When iron rusts is it an endothermic or exothermic reaction?
It is an endothermic reaction because in endothermic reaction energy is added .In that reaction nitrogen does not react with oxygen without energy added in the shape current . In that reaction 3000`current is applieded to take reaction b/w nitrogen and oxygen
