Q
will iron in pure water oxidize
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Iron in pure water will not oxidize readily due to the absence of oxygen and other reactive substances necessary for the oxidation process. Oxidation requires an oxidizing agent, typically oxygen from the air, which reacts with iron to form iron oxides (rust). Pure water contains only H2O molecules and lacks dissolved oxygen, impurities, or electrolytes that could facilitate this reaction. However, even pure water can slowly oxidize iron over time through proton exchange at the metal-water interface, but this process is extremely slow and practically negligible under normal conditions. If the water is exposed to air, oxygen will dissolve into the water, and iron will start to oxidize. To prevent oxidation, iron can be coated with protective layers, such as paint, oil, or passivated using chemical treatments.
