State two conditions for the rusting of iron.
Advertisements
Solution
Two necessary conditions required for rusting of iron are:
(i) Existence of air (oxygen)
(ii) Existence of water (or dampness)
In the absence of any of the above conditions, rusting of iron will not take place.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a rusty-brown 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.
