What other factors besides air and water can change the color of a mineral?
Oxygen because when something hits oxygen it tends to rust so therefore it changes it's color.
Chemical equation for rust?
2Fe(s) + 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ==> 2Fe2+(aq) + 4OH-(aq) This is the equation for rust. ---- NOT EXACTLY Rust is a solid, it doesn't exist as ions in solution. Also, in rust, iron is in the +3 oxidation state. There are three common forms of rust. Rust formed under water is Fe(OH)3. Rust formed in humid air is FeO(OH). Only when rust has completely dehydrated will you see it as Fe2O3. The reaction for the rust that we see around us most often is: 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) + 2H2O(l) --> 4FeO(OH)(s) FeO(OH) is also formed naturally, and is the mineral called goethite.
