What is the word that means reacts with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron
Does vinegar remove rust or increase rust. Half the articles say remove the other half say promote. What's what?
I think that the point is: 1) if you have rust, then vinegar that contains acetic acids, will dissolve your rust 2) if the steel or iron doesn't have rust, then vinegar can rust the steel or iron 'cause it contains an acid. I means that acid will corrode steel or iron but even dissolve rust, that is an iron oxide.
Do only iron compounds rust?
Iron compounds do not rust. Iron and its alloys can rust. Although other metals can corrode it is usually only called rust when it is iron that is corroding.
What is corrosion of iron known as?
rusting of iron . means when you put an iron object left open in moist air .... the moist air come into contact with the iron article and a brown flaky layer of iron oxide is formed on on the object. This is CORROSION of IRON .
Is rust stronger than iron?
It depends on what you mean by "heavier." Rust is less dense than iron. However, if you allow 1 gram of iron to rust completely, you will have more than 1 gram of rust. if we have equal volume of pure iron and rust (ferric oxide) then rust is lighter than iron.
What ways can rust harm iron?
Iron structures and objects are destroyed in time.
What is the word that means reacts with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron
Can graphite rackets rust?
No they will not get rust they are not iron to get rust. only iron get rust.
What happens when iron and oxygen combine to form rust?
Nothing spectacular happens-- this is a chemical change. The useful properties of iron are destroyed when it rusts, so much is usually done to prevent rusting -- i.e painting. other coatings that prevent rust. If you can keep the oxygen away from the iron, it will not rust.Isn't it that it makes iron oxide? or is rust really iron oxide?--different person

What is the symbol of rust in the periodic table?
rust is oxidized iron basically that means FeO or Iron Oxide. this occurs on steel, as steel is iron and carbon (amongst other things) it is the Iron that oxidizes to make the rust.
What is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air?
Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.
How do you stop iron from moistening?
By galvanizing it. this means putting A coat of Zinc on the iron. Then it wont moisten or rust.
Why iron does not rust?
Iron does rust by reacting with oxygen.
Is the rust of an iron nail a compound?
Iron (Not rusted) is an element. However, when iron is in contact with air and water, rust will form on its surface. Rust is an oxide of iron and rust is a compound. Since rust is red/brown in colour it means that the iron has been oxidised to oxidation state '3'. , by the action of water and air. The chemical symbol form iron is Fe (Ferrum - Latin) The chemical formula for rust is Fe2O3 (Ferric oxide). There are other oxides of iron . They are FeO (ferrous oxide = green in colour) and Fe3O4 ( magnetite - grey/black in colour)
