Iron is being oxidised by the to make iron oxide and this reaction cannot occur if water is not present. the water does not get used up in this reaction it is only a catalyst
Water combines with oxygen to form rust. It is not reacting with water, the water serves as a catalyst.
Water. ---------- Oxygen
When iron reacts with water and oxygen, a redox reaction occurs where iron undergoes oxidation to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust. This process is accelerated in the presence of electrolytes, such as salts in water, which promote the flow of electrons, leading to faster corrosion of the iron. Rusting is a form of corrosion that weakens the iron structure over time if left unaddressed.
Iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to produce rust, which is a form of iron oxide. Rusting is a chemical reaction that occurs over time, leading to the breakdown and deterioration of iron-based materials.
Rust ( iron hydrated oxides) are formed.
When iron reacts with oxygen in water as well as in the atomospher iron oxide will be formed. This is nothing but the rust.
The gas that forms rust with water and iron is oxygen. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen and water in a process called oxidation.
NO! It reacts with air to form iron oxide (AKA rust) and water to form iron hydroxide (AKA rust)
Oxidation
Iron rusts when it reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide. The compound needed for iron to rust is iron oxide, which is commonly known as rust.
oxygen and iron, the oxygen in the air or water reacts with the iron
it can rust it reacts with atmosphere and reacts with iron oxide then it get rusted
