No; it is not combustion because in combustion substance react with oxygen first but in rusting the substance react with hydrogen first

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.


Is there any difference between rusting and combustion since both involve oxidation?

Differences:RUSTING :Rusting is a slow process.Little heat is released.Both air and moisture are necessary for rusting.COMBUSTION:Burning is fast oxidation.large amounts of heat are released.Only air is necessary for combustion.In other words, Rusting is much slower than combustion, and rusting in the strictest sense can occur only with iron or its alloys.


Is rusting and combustion is same?

rusting or "corrosion" is a process where a metal is introduced to moisture. thus the metal will get rusty... combustion is a process. the combustion process is the result of fuel (of some sort) is introduced to a ignition source. i.e. take a gallon of gasoline, and within a close proximity light a match (*BOOM*) thus is combustion. the answer to your question is no, rusting and combustion are two different and entirety separate processes. these are extremely simple examples to answer your question. there are many different examples. but these are how I'd explain them to my young son, so they may be easy to understand. hope that helps, cheers. e.


What is a chemical reaction between a substance and air called?

A Combustion reaction. It usually happens between a gas and oxygen. The products are CO2 and H2O.


Which type of gas does rusting require?

Rusting typically requires the presence of oxygen in the gas phase, as this initiates the oxidation reaction that leads to the formation of rust. Additionally, moisture or water is also needed for the process of rusting to occur, as it helps accelerate the oxidation of the metal.

Rusting of iron is a slow type of combustion?

Rusting is a chemical process where iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide. This is a slow process compared to traditional combustion, such as burning wood, where a rapid chemical reaction releases heat and light energy. Rusting does not produce flames or a dramatic release of energy like 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 a chemical process where iron reacts with oxygen and water in the presence of electrolytes to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Combustion is a chemical process that involves a rapid oxidation reaction, usually with oxygen, leading to the release of heat and light energy. Rusting is a slow process that occurs over time, while combustion is a rapid process that often involves the burning of a fuel source.


Can the process of rusting be called rusting?

Yes, it is correct.

Why rusting of iron considered as a combustion process?

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


Is rusting a slow combustion?

yes
