Oxidation happens.
oxidation or corrosion.
The iron will become oxidized and we will say that it has become rusty.
No: Rusting occurs by the combination of ferrous metals with oxygen from air or water, and nitrogen can not form the same compounds as oxygen does.
It covers the steel, which is mostly iron, so that it is not exposed to oxygen in the air. Rust is iron oxide, a compound formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the atmosphere. If the steel is not exposed to oxygen, it will not rust.
Iron rusts because it is oxidized by oxygen in the air. This occurs because of the relative oxidation/reduction potentials of iron and oxygen.
Rusting occur in iron when it reacts with oxygen and water...the less salts in the water the faster the rusting occurs...and the more percentage of oxygen the faster it rusts.
The iron will become oxidized and we will say that it has become rusty.
When rusting occurs the mass of the substance increases since the rusting material reacts with the oxygen in air
Oxidation is mostly what occurs and rust is the by product but,this can take decades and even centuries
Yes the oxygen acts as if it starts a chemical reaction.
Copper oxidizes in air to form copper oxide, which has a green color. This is similar to the rusting that occurs when iron is exposed to oxygen.
Steel and oxygen react together to form rust.
No: Rusting occurs by the combination of ferrous metals with oxygen from air or water, and nitrogen can not form the same compounds as oxygen does.
