Not as such!!!

However, iron ore, is the oxide of iron(rust) and can be reduced in the Blast Furnce to iron.

Also, many iron/steel objects, that are in contact with air and water e.g. ships, drilling platforms etc., have Gauss blocks attached to outside. Because of electron movement these 'blocks' preferentially oxide instead of the steel/iron of the given object. So the given object lasts longer and does not 'rust'.

Is rusting a phsyical change?

Rusting is a chemical change because under it iron goes under oxidation and oxidation is a chemical process. Also, a physical change can be reversed but a chemical change cannot and rusting cannot be reversed. Hence also rusting is a chemical change.


Is iron rust physical change or chemical change?

The rusting of iron is a chemical change because the iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide. This process cannot be reversed by physical means and results in a new substance being formed.


Rusting iron is it physical or chemical change?

Rusting iron is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water to form iron oxide (rust). This process cannot be easily reversed by physical means.


Is rust an example of a physical change or a chemical change?

It is an example of chemical change which cannot be reversed. In this change, Iron oxidizes under the presence of oxygen and moisture. The reaction is called a reduction-oxidation, or redox, reaction.


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.


Is rusting an irreversible cause?

Rusting is an irreversible process.


Can the process of rusting be called rusting?

Yes, it is correct.


Is a rusting bicycle a chemica or physical change?

Chemical - It's the iron atoms reacting with the oxygen atoms in the air. For future reference, a chemical change is irreversible, whereas a physical change can be reversed, usually quite easily.


Rusting of steel is?

A good example of an oxidation reaction. The rusting of steel is essentially just rusting (oxidation) of iron.


Is iron rust a Chemical or physical change?

Chemical change, because it cannot be reversed/ cannot be undone Iron rusting is a chemical change (Oxidization) the elements iron and oxygen form a molecular bond to form a compound known as Iron oxide (Rust). this reaction can be undone as is done with iron ore.


Is rusting of iron harmful or useful?

Rusting is an oxidation reaction.


Rusting is chemical change?

Yes, rusting is a chemical change.
