Is rust forming on the metal gate is a physical or chemical change?
Rust forming on a metal gate is a chemical change. It is a result of a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and water, which leads to the formation of iron oxide (rust).
What rust the result of a chemical reaction?
Rusting is a chemical reaction because it is irreversible. Rust or iron oxide is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in water.
What rust the result of a chemical?
Rust is the product of a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen.
How is a rusting a nail a chemical change?
Rust is a chemical reaction called oxide. When a nail rust, the chemical change is related to the reaction of the metal and oxygen.
Is lack of ability to rust a physical or chemical?
Rusting is a chemical reaction. Thus, rust resistance is a chemical property.
Is rust the result of a chemical reactaction?
Yes, rust is the chemical reaction of Oxygen and Iron when there is a presence of water.
If Iron and oxygen form rust is it a chemical or physical reaction?
The formation of rust is a chemical reaction as it involves chemical bonding. However, it is initiated by the physical properties of standard electrode potentials.
What is a chemical reaction in simple language?
a chemical reaction makes something happen, like rust or water
Is a rusty penny an example of a chemical reaction true or false?
Yes. The rust on the penny indicates that a reaction between the penny and its environment has occurred. Since a new material was formed from this reaction (the rust) the reaction must be a chemical reaction.
How does something rust?
