rusting of iron is a redox chemical reaction.
what kind of chemical reaction is rusting of iron?
redox
bullet::::- in organic chemistry, the stepwise oxidation of a hydrocarbon by oxygen produces water and, successively, an alcohol, an aldehyde or a ketone, a carboxylic acid, and then a peroxide.









































section::::examples of redox reactions.:other examples.:corrosion and rusting.









































bullet::::- the term corrosion refers to the electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen. rusting, the formation of iron oxides, is a well-known example of electrochemical corrosion; it forms as a result of the oxidation of iron metal. common rust often refers to iron(iii) oxide, formed in the following chemical reaction:









































bullet::::- 4 fe + 3 o → 2 feo

products are the species formed from chemical reactions. during a chemical reaction reactants are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state. this process results in the consumption of the reactants. it can be a spontaneous reaction or mediated by catalysts which lower the energy of the transition state, and by solvents which provide the chemical environment necessary for the reaction to take place. when represented in chemical equations products are by convention drawn on the right-hand side, even in the case of reversible reactions. the properties of products such as their energies help determine several characteristics of a chemical reaction such as whether the reaction is exergonic or endergonic. additionally the properties of a product can make it easier to extract and purify following a chemical reaction, especially if the product has a different state of matter than the reactants. reactants are molecular materials used to create chemical reactions. the atoms aren't created or destroyed. the materials are reactive and reactants are rearranging during a chemical reaction. here is an example of reactants: ch + o. a non-example is co + ho or "energy".
