    Rusting on iron needs

    A) dry air

    B) air and water

    C) distilled water and carbon dioxide

    D) oxygen and carbon dioxide

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[C{{O}_{2}}\] present in air, on reacting with water gives carbonic acid.                 \[2{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}2{{H}^{+}}+2HCO_{3}^{-}\]                 \[Fe\xrightarrow{{}}F{{e}^{2+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\]                 \[2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}(gas)\]                 \[{{H}_{2}}+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}O\] Rusting of iron is an electrochemical reaction. In this reaction oxidation of iron and reduction of \[{{O}_{2}}\] takes place.
