Chemical Reaction of Rusting
Posted by Jim Clark on 25th October in Chemistry
Rusting is an easy to recognize chemical reaction, as the nice shiny metal turns into an ugly red/brown flaky substance. It happens spontaneously in moist air, as the reaction happens easily and quite quickly It is the reaction of iron or alloys of iron (like steel) with oxygen and water. The [...]
