उत्तर
The term Rusting involves slow oxidation of iron in presence of air and moisture which results in the formation of rust i.e. hydrated iron [III] oxide.
THE OXIDATION REACTION
Rusting of Iron
Iron + Oxygen → Iron [III] oxide Rust Hydrated iron [III] oxide
\[\ce{4Fe + 3O2 -> 2Fe2O3->[X H2O][moisture] Fe2O3.x H2O}\]
Iron when exposed to the atmosphere slowly reacts with the oxygen of the air, in the presence of moisture forming a brown coating called ‘rust’ on its surface. Rusting corrodes iron and reduces its structural strength.

What is corrosion?
Four metals P, Q, R and S are all obtained by the reduction of their oxides with carbon. Metal P is used to form a thin layer over the sheets of metal S to prevent its corrosion. Metal Q is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S whereas metal R is used in making car batteries. Metals Q and R form an alloy called solder. What are metals P, Q, R and S? How have you arrived at this conclusion?

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a solid, A, are mixed with the powder of another solid, B. However when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products, C, is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product, D, floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.
(i) Based on the given information make an assumption about A and B and write a chemical equation for the chemical reaction indicating the conditions of reaction, physical state of reactants and products and thermal status of reaction.
(ii) Mention any two types of reactions under which above chemical reaction can be classified.
