What is a word equation for iron reacts with oxygen to produce rust?
Rusting is the name given to the reaction between iron and oxygen to form iron oxide. Iron has various different oxides, but the oxide formed is usually iron(III) oxide. The word equation isiron + oxygen => iron(III) oxideand the symbol equation is4Fe + 3O2 => 2Fe2O3
How does oxygen in the atmosphere differ from oxygen in rocks and minerals?
Atmospheric oxygen tends to be elemental oxygen (O2). Oxygen in rocks and minerals is chemically combined with other elements to form compounds called oxides.
Do rocks absorb oxygen?
Yeah its really annoying
What occurs when rocks are exposed to oxygen elements in the air?
oxidation
How did oxygen get in your atmosphere?
Oxygen was released from Precambrian rocks. cynobacteria were the first organisms to produce oxygen 2.5-3 billion years ago
What takes place when minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering?
The oxygen in the air combines with the minerals and the rocks change because the minerals are oxidizing. Oxidation can cause new chemical compounds such as iron oxide to form in the rocks.
A planet that appears reddish-yellow due to iron oxide in its rocks?
Mars
Why are most rocks brown on the outside?
Most rocks are brown on the outside because iron is present in many minerals, and it reacts with the oxygen in the air to form brown iron Oxide(rust) which is relatively soft.

What does minerals and rocks combine with?
Minerals in Rocks combine with Chemicals in the air,Chemical Weathering takes place.
Is almost all of the oxygen on planet earth found in the atmosphere?
No. Most of the oxygen on Earth is bound up in the silicate minerals that make up most of Earth's rocks.
What are some features of Mars?
iron-oxide rocks (Red rocks)
Why is Mars got red dust?
Mars is called the 'red planet' from its red tint which is that the planet's soil is rich in iron oxide, The old theory is that the oxidization process began early in Mars' life cycle, when warm water flowed on the planet-water that may have carved out the long, now-barren channels that snake through portions of the planet. Rocks containing iron would have slowly been worn away by rivers and seas, and the oxygen in the water would have combined with the iron to create iron oxide-or, in lay terms, the iron would have rusted into red dust.
Planet made up of rocks?
The planet that is made up of rocks is Neptune
How are rusty rocks formed?
If they have iron oxide on them.
Which planet is a planet of rocks and ice?
The planet is Pluto, but Pluto is not a planet anymore so no planet has rock and ice in the middle.
Can you melt and combine two rocks?
yes
