Rust forms... i think. check in your science book. it's in the sixth grade science book, too. If my answer is correct, rust is a reddish dust that can eat through metal. it can also turn rocks into a crumbly, unstable rock. Rust is found on Mars, and rust is why Mars is red.

What is the reducing agent when iron rusts?
iron
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).
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
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.
What is the reducing agent when iron rusts?
iron
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).
Can water cause iron to rust?
The oxygen from water is the oxidizing agent for iron.
Is N2 an oxidizing agent?
Nitrogen is not an oxidizing agent.
What is the oxidizing agent in butane combustion?
The oxidizing agent is oxygen.
Is NaCl a common oxidizing agent?
Sodium chloride is not an oxidizing agent.
Is nitrous acid an oxidizing agent or reducing agent?
it is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent
What is the product of iron when it is oxidated?
The usually predominant product is iron(III) oxide, more commonly known as rust, when air is the oxidizing agent.
What is the strongest oxidizing agent of the following set FeO Fe2O3 Fe3O4 FeO4-2?
The strongest oxidizing agent of them is FeO4-2 ion, which is called Ferrate. Its oxidizing powers come from Iron in its +6 oxidation state. These ions are even stronger oxidizers than Permanganates or Nitrates.
What transition metal rusts when exposed to oxygen?
Iron rusts in the presence of Oxygen.
Is lead II ion or Chlorine is the most active oxidising agent?
Elemental chlorine is a stronger oxidizing agent than iron (II) cations.
Which metal rusts first copper or iron?
Neither. Only iron rusts. Other metals oxidize.
