I'm not sure what you mean by "reversible" When iron rusts some of the iron it changed to iron oxide and thus part of the nail would be lost, but if discovered in time the rusting can be stopped and prevented from continuing.
Rusting is oxidation, a chemical reaction.
Rusting of a nail is a chemical change. It involves a reaction between iron in the nail and oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust), which has different chemical properties compared to the original iron.
I am quite sure that rust is a chemical change. Rust is caused when oxygen atoms begin bonding with the iron in the nail, which makes it a compound instead of a pure element.
No, oxygen does not directly affect nail rusting because rusting specifically refers to the oxidation of iron metal. Nails are made of iron, and they rust when exposed to oxygen and water. Oxygen in the air reacts with the iron in the nail to form iron oxide, or rust.
A rusting nail is a chemical change because the iron in the nail is reacting with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust), changing the composition of the nail. This process is irreversible and involves a chemical reaction.
A nail rusting is a chemical change.
A nail rusting is a chemical change. The chemical formula of the metal completely changes, adding oxygen to the formula. Iron changes from Fe to FeO2 , or to Fe2O3
Surface rusting may be removed without weakening the metal nail too much. A badly rusted nail may not have enough metal left to be strong enough to still be useful. Therefore, irreversible change depends on the depth the rusting has reached.
No, rusting is oxidation, a form of chemical change.
When rust forms on a nail the dark brown colour is the characteristics of rusting.
a galvanized nail is a nail that has got a zinc anti detterent on it this prevents the rusting of the nail and is used for construction
A rusting nail is the oxidation of iron, in which the iron in the nail and the oxygen in the air react to form a new substance, iron oxide, with different properties from the iron and the oxygen.
Yes, a rusting nail is an example of the chemical change oxidation.
yes
Rusting is the oxidation of iron in a humid environment.
Yeah, it does and it becomes more
