When iron rusts, it undergoes an exothermic reaction, releasing energy in the form of heat. This is because the bonds between iron atoms are broken when iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide, resulting in a more stable compound.
In an electric iron, electrical energy is converted into heat energy due to the resistance in the iron's heating element when the iron is turned on. The heat energy is transferred to the iron's soleplate, allowing it to generate steam or smooth out wrinkles in clothes.
It takes approximately 2.4 million joules of energy to melt 1 metric ton of iron.
When you iron damp clothing, the heat from the iron causes the water in the clothing to evaporate. This process requires energy, which is transferred from the hot iron to the water in the clothing. The energy transfer allows the water to change from a liquid to a gas state, resulting in dry clothing.
They all convert electrical energy into thermal energy.
In an electric iron, electrical energy is converted into heat energy when the current flows through the heating element. The heat energy is then transferred to the metal plate of the iron, where it is used to remove wrinkles from clothes by softening and reshaping the fabric.
When iron and sulfur combine to form iron sulfide, a chemical change takes place. This reaction is characterized by the formation of a new substance with different properties from the original iron and sulfur, including a change in color and the release of energy in the form of heat.
Oxidization
When iron and sulfur combine to form iron sulfide, a chemical reaction occurs where iron atoms lose electrons to sulfur atoms, forming a compound with a new chemical structure. This reaction is exothermic, releasing energy in the form of heat.
Bonds are formed between some of the iron atoms in the nail and oxygen atoms from the air.
The oxidation of the iron in a car door into iron oxide is a chemical change. The reaction equation is 4 Fe + 3 O2 = 2 Fe2O3
Corrosion is the slow chemical change a metal undergoes when exposed to oxygen. The chemical change is the rust that forms on the metal. Iron is extremely susceptible to corrosion (rust). Corrosion can begin to form rust on iron right after the Ingots have cooled at the Foundry.
Evidence of a chemical change between iron and sulfur to form iron sulfide includes color change (from grey to black), formation of a new substance with different properties, and the release of heat energy during the reaction. Additionally, chemical analysis showing the presence of iron and sulfur atoms in the product confirms a chemical transformation has taken place.

Rust.
Because iron has very little binding energy, to get it to fuse you must add binding energy. This takes a supernova explosion or a powerful particle accelerator. Elements lighter than iron have excess binding energy that can be releases by fusion, but not iron (or any heavier element).
It takes approximately 2.4 million joules of energy to melt 1 metric ton of iron.
Rusting is an oxydation reaction.
