Option 3 : Both I and II
The correct answer is Both I and II.
- The presence of both oxygen and water or water vapor is essential for rusting.
- Rust is formed from the reaction between oxygen and iron in an environment containing water vapour.
- Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide.
- Iron + Water + Oxygen → Hydrated iron(III) oxide.
- 4Fe + 3O2 + 6H2O → 4Fe(OH)3
