Can rusting of iron occur in distilled water?
Yes, rusting of iron occurs in distilled water. In fact, the rusting is faster since, the ionic content in distilled water is lesser.
What are the conditions necessary for rusting?
The conditions necessary for rusting are water (or water vapour) and air, specifically Oxygen. If one condition is absent and the other is present then rusting would not occur but if both are present then rusting will occur
Can rusting of iron occur in distelled water?
yes,rusting of iron can occur in distilled water.In fact it occur even very fast because ionic content in distilled water is very less.So,rusting of iron occur in distilled water.
What conditions will make iron and steel rust?
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.
Under what conditions will rusting not occur?
Rust will not occur where it is dry and humid
How does tin plating prevent rusting?
Tin itself is highly resistant to rusting (oxidation) so the tin coating remains intact. Oxygen molecules are therefore unable to reach the iron layer beneath, making it impossible for the iron to rust.
Difference between rusting and combustion?
Rusting is much slower than combustion, and rusting in the strictest sense can occur only with iron or its alloys.
What type of energy causes rusting to occur?
Chemical
Will rusting occur in boiled water?
Rusting will occur in boiled water but at a very slow rate. This is mainly due to the fact that water which is boiled is said to be de-ionized.
Which type of gas does rusting require?
The gas that is required to allow rusting to occur is Oxygen
Does rust form faster in the heat or in the cold?
Based purely on the knowledge of chemistry, rust forms faster in the heat. Rust is the oxidation of iron and this reaction will occur at a faster rate at a higher temperature as the molecules are provided with more kinetic energy. However, the rate of 'rusting' also depends on humidity etc.
Is Rusting is an example of?
Rusting is the corrosion of iron. A redox reaction will occur and the iron will be oxidised by the oxygen and water surrounding it or any other strong oxidants.
