Oxidizing Compound [OXI-C]

u'<font size="13" color="#99ffffff"></font><font size="13" color="#ff7f0000">Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3\xb7nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.<br><br>Given sufficient time, any iron mass, in the presence of water and oxygen, could eventually convert entirely to rust.</font>'
