iron, moisture and air
The rusting of iron is a chemical change, where iron and oxygen are the reactants and rust is the product. The basic equation for this reaction is: 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
These substances are called in the English terminology products.
The reactants are iron, oxygen and water. The products are hydrated iron (III) oxides and iron (III) oxide-hydroxide. You might wish to see the wikipedia article about rust for more information.
Yes, it is correct.
Rusting is an irreversible process.
Rusting, a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and moisture, obeys the law of conservation of mass because the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products. During rusting, iron combines with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust), but no atoms are lost or created in the process. Thus, the mass remains constant, demonstrating that matter is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. This principle is fundamental to all chemical processes.
A good example of an oxidation reaction. The rusting of steel is essentially just rusting (oxidation) of iron.

Yes, rusting is a chemical change.
