  1. The Rusting Process (Oxidation)

  2. Chemical Formulas • Fe → Fe2+ + 2 e− 2 e− Fe Fe2+

  3. Chemical Formulas • Fe2+ + 2 H2O ⇌ Fe(OH)2 + 2 H+ Fe2+ 2 H2O Fe(OH)2 Rust 2 H+ Notice there are no electrons on the atom

  4. Chemical Formulas • 2 FeO(OH) ⇌ Fe2O3 + H2O Fe2O3 Another form of rust FeO(OH) Rust H2O
