You can prevent rust with the help of the common methods like painting, greasing, electroplating and galvanizing.
Iron rust is a chemical compound that differs from iron itself. In large towns and cities iron sheets are generally used for roofing houses and these sheets have to be protected from rust or else it will decay. Rusting is a chemical procedure that, can take place in metals uncovered to the environment. Not all metals however rust. It is common with the metal, iron.

What happens to iron when it is in air and gets wet?
It rusts. Check the "related links" if you are concerned for more information regarding the chemical reactions that take place and the different products formed when iron rusts.
Why does the iron rusts when magnesium is put in the water with the iron?
anvit
Why is most Iron in the world not found as the metal?
Iron rusts.
Why does rust weight more?
Talking about Iron. Rust is an oxide of Iron. Basically Iron that rusts has captured Oxygen from the air around it in a chemical reaction - a slow one thankfully! The weight increase is due to the attached Oxygen.
Is iron rusts a physical or chemical reaction?
Iron rusting is a chemical change.
What happens to iron oxygen in the presence omoisture?
it rusts and then rotten
What kind of change happens when iron rusts?
Oxidation. Water, oxygen, and metal.
What happens to iron when it is in air and gets wet?
It rusts. Check the "related links" if you are concerned for more information regarding the chemical reactions that take place and the different products formed when iron rusts.
Why does iron weigh more after it rusts?
Iron weighs more after it rusts because rust is formed by the addition of oxygen from the surrounding environment. This increase in weight is due to the formation of iron oxide layers on the surface of the iron, which adds to the overall mass of the object.
What transition metal rusts when exposed to oxygen?
Iron rusts in the presence of Oxygen.
Which metal rusts first copper or iron?
Neither. Only iron rusts. Other metals oxidize.
Can iron be used to build a yacht?
Yes, iron can be used to build a yacht, but it is unadvised. Since iron rusts in water and the weight of it just isn't profitable.
What happens when metal rusts?
Well, when iron rusts, it's oxidizing, which means that it's reacting with the oxygen in the air, which causes it to break down and form rust (Fe2O3).
If oxygen is removed from a sample of air as iron rusts what happens to the total pressure of the air?
it decreases
What is the reducing agent when iron rusts?
iron
Iron atoms are destroyed When iron rusts?
No. Atoms cannot be destroyed by chemical processes. When iron rusts it bonds with oxygen to form iron oxide.
What rusts faster?
iron
