They are being oxidized by oxygen.
Depending on the existing conditions, they will oxidize to form Ferrous oxide (FeO) or Ferric oxide (Fe2O3), or some combination of the two.
Salty air, high ratio of moisture and relatively low temperature causes iron to rust quicker.
When iron reacts with water and oxygen, a redox reaction occurs where iron undergoes oxidation to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust. This process is accelerated in the presence of electrolytes, such as salts in water, which promote the flow of electrons, leading to faster corrosion of the iron. Rusting is a form of corrosion that weakens the iron structure over time if left unaddressed.
The reason that rust is considered a chemical change is because the "connections" or the bonds of atoms are changed in the process. When atoms "rearrange themselves" by changing the "connections" or bonds to allow different compounds to be formed, as is the case with the formation of rust, a chemical change has taken place.
It depends on what you mean by "heavier." Rust is less dense than iron. However, if you allow 1 gram of iron to rust completely, you will have more than 1 gram of rust. if we have equal volume of pure iron and rust (ferric oxide) then rust is lighter than iron.
There is 1 Iron atom and 2 oxogen atoms in Iron rust.
As changing Iron to Rust is changing the actual chemical elements of the compound. It becomes Iron Oxide, or Iron with an Oxygen reaction having taken place so that the material is different.
Salty air, high ratio of moisture and relatively low temperature causes iron to rust quicker.
You can install a water filter system with a special iron or rust filter to remove rust particles from well water. Another option is to use a water softener with an iron removal function. Regular maintenance and flushing of the system will also help prevent rust particles from building up in the water.
permanent- you are changing the chemicals in the iron when it rust
Water combines with oxygen to form rust. It is not reacting with water, the water serves as a catalyst.
No they will not get rust they are not iron to get rust. only iron get rust.

Iron does rust by reacting with oxygen.
Liquids do not rust, iron does, rust is Hydrated Iron (III) oxide, so the only substance which can rust iron is water
rusting is oxidation, so it is definitely a chemical change
