Which two substances must be present for an iron object to rust?
For the oxidation of iron to occur, that is for ferric oxide to form, there must be oxygen present. There must also be water present.
How does iron react with deionized water?
Iron reacts slowly with deionized water to form iron hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction is enhanced when oxygen is present, leading to the formation of rust (iron oxide).
Is sturdy but must be kept seasoned to avoid rust?
Cast iron.
Would a wheel barrow be magnetic if it had rust on it?
if rust is forming on a wheelbarrow, it is already magnetic. Rust is Iron Oxide, and a wheelbarrow must be made of iron if there is rust on it. Iron is always magnetic, so an iron wheelbarrow would be magnetic regardless of whether it had no rust or lots of rust on it.

What is formed when a piece of iron reacts with air and moisture?
Oxidation, corrosion which we call rust .
Which chemical makes the nail rust faster?
Rust is essentially iron oxide, so oxygen must be present and anything that would cause the nail to become spongy and allow the oxygen in the cracks will help induce rusting.
Is sturdy but must be kept seasoned to avoid rust?
