answered 27 Mar 2026The chemical reaction involved in the corrosion of iron metal is that of: (a) Oxidation as well as displacement (b) Reduction as well as combination (c) Oxidation as well as combination Reduction as well as displacement
A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Option (c) is the answer.
Corrosion takes place when iron metal reacts with water and oxygen and form hydrated oxide and is an oxidation reaction as it is adding up of oxygen
Iron metal combines with water and oxygen to corrode thus it is a combination reaction which further forms a single compound.
