To determine whether the statement "The weight of rusted iron is more than that of the original metal" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Composition of Rust Rust is primarily composed of iron oxide, which forms when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture. The chemical reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Iron (Fe)} + \text{Oxygen (O)} \rightarrow \text{Iron oxide (Fe}_2\text{O}_3\text{)} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Reaction In this reaction, iron (Fe) combines with oxygen (O) from the environment to form iron oxide (rust). This means that the mass of the rusted iron includes both the original mass of the iron and the mass of the oxygen that has combined with it. ...
