They combine to form rust. You might be able to guess from what's combining that "rust" is apparently an iron oxide.
When iron rusts, it combines with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust). You now have the original mass of iron PLUS the mass of the combined oxygen.
When the iron in a nail combines with oxygen it forms iron oxide. We call this rust.
oxygen atoms are added to iron atoms to form a molcule with a combined mass of iron and oxygen
It is a chemical change. Oxygen in the air (and sometimes water vapor) combines with the iron to form oxides. The rust is a new chemical with very different properties: it has little strength, can be washed away, and is no longer attracted to a magnet.
Yes. It is where the iron from the nail reacts with water and oxygen in the air to form a brown layer of Iron(III) Oxide: Fe + O2 + H2O -> Fe2O3.2H2O Note: The equation above isn't balanced.
When iron rusts, it combines with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust). You now have the original mass of iron PLUS the mass of the combined oxygen.
When the iron in a nail combines with oxygen it forms iron oxide. We call this rust.
the iron combines with oxygen, forming iron III oxide, or Fe2O3
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
A rusting nail is the oxidation of iron, in which the iron in the nail and the oxygen in the air react to form a new substance, iron oxide, with different properties from the iron and the oxygen.
It's an oxidation reaction forming iron oxide (rust). Basically: iron + oxygen = iron oxide Iron, (Fe) is an element and react easily with the element Oxygen (O2) the resultant material is a compound known as rust or iron oxide, (FeO2) this proces is known as oxidization.
