When rusting occurs, some of the outer metal converts to a crumbly iron oxide that doesn't have the same strength as the metal.

The deeper the rusting goes into the metal , the weaker the bar will become.

Why the rusting of iron makes it thinner and thinner?

When iron rusts, a chemical reaction occurs between the iron and oxygen in the presence of water, forming iron oxide (rust). This iron oxide layer is less dense and more porous than the original iron, causing the metal to expand and flake off. As rust continues to form, it undermines the structural integrity of the iron, leading to a gradual thinning of the material.

Can iron bars be painted in order to stop rust when concreted?

No, after painting iron can not make a strong bonding with concrete, the purpose of painting is the prevention of rusting but rusting process occurs in presence of carbon dioxide and moisture, when iron bars are sealed in concrete the rusting is not possible.

rusting of iron is faster in rainy days because water is responsible for the rusting of iron i.e the presence of oxygen


Why rusting of iron is chemical change?

Rusting of iron is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form a new substance called iron oxide. This process cannot be easily reversed, and the properties of the original iron are changed as a result of the rusting process.
