1) Iron rust to create iron oxide (ochre or FeOOH I think). I think carbon cannot oxidise, because it is nota metal, but it can join a metal and then it oxidises I think.

2) Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Carbon doesn't rust but could eventually oxidize if exposed to extremely high degrees of heat (above 500 degrees).

What does Iron oxide carbon make?

Iron oxide carbon makes iron and carbon dioxide through a chemical reaction known as reduction. Iron oxide, or rust, reacts with carbon to produce iron metal and carbon dioxide gas. This process is commonly used in the production of iron and steel.

Does carbon dioxide cause rust?

No.because in carbon dioxide carbon is attached with oxygen.S,it prevents oxidation,since,it is stronger reducing agent than that of the iron.


Why does a penny rust from carbon dioxide?

Technically it does not rust, as that phenomenon only occurs with iron. In a moist environment, carbon dioxide and oxygen will react with the copper surface of a penny to form copper I carbonate.

Does carbon rust?

The term "rust" technically applies only to iron oxides and its variations, so the element carbon cannot rust.


What gases causes iron to rust and candles to burn?

Oxygen is the gas that causes iron to rust. When iron is in contact with oxygen and water, it forms iron oxide (rust) as a result of a chemical reaction. Candles burn due to the combustion of wax, which releases carbon dioxide and water vapor.


Why iron being rust?

Iron rusts as a result of corrosion, when iron, water, and oxygen combine. Water combines with carbon dioxide in the air, forming a weak carbonic acid. As the acid forms, the iron dissolves, and rust begins to form.


Does Mars get it red color from carbon dioxide?

No, Mars gets its red color from iron oxide, or rust, that is present in its soil and rocks. Carbon dioxide is a minor component of Mars' atmosphere and does not contribute significantly to its red color.
