Iron reacting with oxygen produces rust, Fe2O3 (Iron (III) oxide) or FeO2 (Iron (II) oxide) depending on the composition of the iron.

When iron oxide is made does the iron take the oxygen out of the water or out of the air?
It takes the oxygen from air because without the presence of air, iron cannot turn into ferric oxide. The iron first reacts with air and then reacts with water to form rust.
What takes place when minerals in rocks combine with air and chemical weathering?
The oxygen in the air combines with the minerals and the rocks change because the minerals are oxidizing. Oxidation can cause new chemical compounds such as iron oxide to form in the rocks.
What type of weathering that is commonly known as rusting is?
I'd say oxidation, formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture.See link below:
A gas in the air formed by the addition of an oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule?
Ozone. Normal Oxygen air is O2, and Ozone is O3.
What are the elements in iron oxide?
the three things are water, moisture and air
Iron III oxide is formed when iron combines with oxygen in the air How many grams of Fe2O3 are formed when 16.7 g of Fe reacts completely with oxygen?
23.95g
Causes of corrosion?
occurs when iron combines with oxygen in the air
Iron combines with oxygen in the air and causes?
Rusting - oxidation- corrosion.
Oxygen in the air combines with iron molecules on a frying pan to form?
Iron oxide or rust.
Oxygen in the air combines with iron molecules on a frying pan form?
to dance
How can steel rust?
The iron part of steel combines with oxygen in the air, or dissolved in water. This is a chemical reaction, which produces iron oxide- rust.
What minerals are iron oxides?
Iron oxide is rust. It is formed when the element iron reacts with oxygen in the water or air.
When a nail rust iron from the nail combines with oxygen from the air to form what?
They combine to form rust. You might be able to guess from what's combining that "rust" is apparently an iron oxide.
What is produced when iron combines with oxygen?
The short answer is iron oxide. However, there are two common iron oxides. When you heat iron in air you get black iron oxide, Fe3O4. In more complex reactions red iron oxide, Fe2O3 is produced.
What happen when iron is exposed to air?
If an iron nail is exposed to air for a long time it reacts with the water vapour (moisture) and oxygen present in the atmosphere and a reddish-brown powdery coating is formed on it known as RUST (Fe2O3.xH2O) .
What makes rust?
Iron combines with oxygen in the air to form ferric oxide, also known as rust.
Why iron being rust?
Iron rusts as a result of corrosion, when iron, water, and oxygen combine. Water combines with carbon dioxide in the air, forming a weak carbonic acid. As the acid forms, the iron dissolves, and rust begins to form.
