Because it's the "burning" of iron in oxygen.
It's just slow.

Is rusting of iron a combustion process?
No. Combustion is where something burns. Rusting is an example of oxidisation. ------------------ Yes, rusting is an example of slow combustion. And yes it is an oxidation reaction too, as Combustion is an oxidation reaction with an evolution of heat and/or light. In rudting there is: 1. Relase of energy. 2. Oxidation Hence, rusting is considered an oxidation reaction.
Rusting of iron is a slow type of combustion?
Rusting is an oxydation but not a combustion.
Process of rusting is same as combustion?
Rusting is similar to combustion in that oxygen is a required reactant. However, classic combustion has carbon dioxide and water as products, whereas rusting simply has a metal oxide as a product.
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.
Is iron rusting in a charge of chemical?
No, iron rusting is oxidation process
What are the differences between rusting and respiration?
rusting is a process in which iron oxide is formed on iron in the presence of oxygen and water. respiration includes the burning or combustion of food for the release of energy with the presence of oxygen or without oxygen.
Is rusting of iron is photochemical process?
Check
Is rusting decomposition or synthesis?
Rusting is an oxidation and can be considered as a synthesis of an iron oxide.
Which metal prevent the rusting of iron?
zinc prevents rusting of iron by the process galvanisation
When rusting of iron take plce?
When Iron became in contact with water and oxygen or other strong oxidants or acids the rusting took place. The rusting is an electrochemical process which started with the transfer of electrons form iron to oxygen. If salt is present then it also accelerate the rusting process.
What is the process of rusting of iron is slow quick or endothermic?
slow
What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.
