james Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (rotten) what was the cause ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Really james The reddish-brown crust that often forms on iron and steel objects comes from changes that take place in the outer surface of the metal itself. This crust, called rust, is caused by the mixture of the metal with oxygen from water in the air.When moisture from the air, or from anywhere else, reaches an object with iron in it, oxygen in the water combines with atoms of iron to form molecules of a compound called iron oxide.The iron oxide particles remain suspended in the water, but when the water evaporates, the particles remain, forming a reddish coating on the surface of the iron. Without the presence of water, objects cannot rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
