2Fe(s) + 2H2O(l) + O2(g) ==> 2Fe2+(aq) + 4OH-(aq)
This is the equation for rust. ---- NOT EXACTLY
Rust is a solid, it doesn't exist as ions in solution. Also, in rust, iron is in the +3 oxidation state. There are three common forms of rust. Rust formed under water is Fe(OH)3. Rust formed in humid air is FeO(OH). Only when rust has completely dehydrated will you see it as Fe2O3.
The reaction for the rust that we see around us most often is:
4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) + 2H2O(l) --> 4FeO(OH)(s)
FeO(OH) is also formed naturally, and is the mineral called goethite.

What tells the story of a chemical reaction?
The written statement that shows a chemical reaction is called an "equation". The representation of each reactant is called its chemical formula.
Define chemical reaction and chemical equation?
We see the chemical reaction but we write the chemical equation.
What is chemical equation for sulfate?
The chemical equation for sulfate (or sulphate) is SO42-
What is the chemical equation for climate change?
Climate change is not a chemical reaction, and it is not described by a chemical equation.
What symbolic representation of a chemical reaction?
There are several things that may symbolize a chemical reaction. One of the main symbols is a chemical equation which will represent the entities in the reaction. .
What is the Chemical equation for rusting steel?
A basic equation for the formation of rust is 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
What does the s stand for in the chemical equation of rust?

What is the chemical equation when iron turns to rust?
Fe + O = FeOThis is the chemical equation for rust, when iron combines with an oxygen atom to form iron oxide, more commonly known as rust.----Iron rust is hydrated Fe2O3 and Fe(OH).Fe(OH)3.4Fe + 3O2 = 2Fe2O3.
How do you write chemical equation for hydration of Fe2O3 to form rust?
See this link.
What property is an example of rusting?
It's an example of a chemical change. Rusting is a chemical process by which iron metal reacts with oxygen in the air to produce iron oxide, otherwise known as rust. A chemical change means you end up with something you didn't have before. Every chemical reaction has an equation associated with it, and the equation for rusting iron is:4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
Why is lack of ability to rust physical property and not chemical property?
Rusting is a chemical process, so no if its lacking it cannot be chemical its physical
What chemical change of rusting of iron?
The rusting of iron is a chemical change, where iron and oxygen are the reactants and rust is the product. The basic equation for this reaction is: 4Fe + 3O2 --> 2Fe2O3
Chemical symbol for rust?

Is Ability to rust a physical property or chemical property?
ability to rust is a chemical property
What rust the result of a chemical?
Rust is the product of a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen.
Is lack of ability to rust a physical or chemical?
Rusting is a chemical reaction. Thus, rust resistance is a chemical property.
