No. In fact, iron will gain weight because of the added weight of the oxygen.

Why O2 is necessary for rusting?

O2 is necessary for the rusting because the iron forms an iron oxide complex with the oxygen. Fe (s) + O2 (g) --> Fe2O3 (s)


Why is rusting iron exothermic?

Rusting iron is considered an exothermic reaction because it releases energy in the form of heat as iron reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide (rust). The process involves the oxidation of iron, which is a thermodynamically favorable reaction that results in a decrease in energy. As the iron atoms lose electrons, they form more stable compounds, and the energy released contributes to the heat observed during the rusting process. This release of heat is characteristic of many oxidation reactions.


Why rusting of iron is an oxidation reaction?

It is in fact a 'redox' reaction - it is both a reduction and an oxidation reaction. This is because certain elements within the reaction lose electrons, while others gain them. Therefore parts of the reaction are both reductions and oxidations.
