Answer» a)The iron nails will corrode due to the effect of oxygen and water on iron. The color of the iron nails will change to reddish-brown.b)supply of oxygen and waterc)Redox reaction(oxidation-reduction)d)galvanization,spraying wax or oil, keeping iron separate from oxygen+water. a) It starts to rustb) Both water and oxygen are needed for rusting to occur. c) Oxygen and iron, which are the reactants, combine to form a product called iron oxide(rust).d) Paint the nail to avoid contact with water or air.
