What product is formed when iron rusts?

Rust is nothing but Ferrous oxide, also known as iron oxide, Iron (III) oxide, or Fe2O3. The outermost layer of the iron, which is in contact with the atmosphere, attracts oxygen and forms iron oxide which is called rusting. The rust itself forms a layer over the iron and prevents further iron oxide formation. When iron rusts the red substance formed is actually a mixture of Hydrated Iron(III) oxides and hydroxides.


Why does tin protects iron from corrosion?

Tin protects iron from corrosion through a process called sacrificial protection, where the tin acts as a sacrificial anode and corrodes instead of the iron. The tin forms a protective layer over the iron, preventing exposure to moisture and oxygen which are necessary for corrosion to occur. This sacrificial layer of tin can be periodically replaced to maintain the protective barrier.
