Principle

Many students combine the term "oxidation" with a combustion reaction. This student experiment explains that oxidation also proceed "unspectacular" over longer periods. This experiment shows iron wool corrodes in moist air, it rusts. Rusting is "slow oxidation".

 

What you can learn about
