Is rust an element compound or mixture?

Answer 1

Actually, Rust is a mixture, of two compounds = Hydrated Iron(III) oxide [Fe2O3.nH2O] and Hydrated Iron(III) oxide-hydroxide [FeO(OH).nH2O] . Both the compounds are red giving colour to Rust.

Answer 2

Its Iron Oxide, Iron and Oxygen that is bonded, so its a compound.

Expanded answer: Rust is definitely not an element: It contains at least two elements, Fe and O. Rust can be a fairly pure compound with formula Fe2O3. However, when formed in unregulated environments, it usually also contains varying amounts of water and often other constituents. Therefore, most rust is a mixture.

Answer 3

Rust is a compound composed mainly of iron and oxygen, with the chemical formula Fe2O3. Rust forms on iron or steel surfaces when they are exposed to oxygen and moisture over time, leading to the oxidation of the metal.

Answer 4

Rust is a mixture because it is just so happens that rust comes from the silicon di tetraviolent electrons and so that is y it is so happens to be a mixture

Answer 5

Rust is iron oxide, a compound formed when iron chemically combines with oxygen in the atmosphere.

Answer 6

Rust is a chemical reaction of Oxygen (O2) with a metal. Because it is a chemical reaction, it is an element compound.

Answer 7

Yes - the chemical name for rust is Iron Oxide - chemical symbol FeO.

Answer 8

Rust is a compound.
