rust, in botany, name for various parasitic fungi of the order Uredinales and for the diseases of plants that they cause. Rusts form reddish patches of spores on the host plant. About 7,000 species are known. Some grow entirely on one plant; others require two hosts, plants of two species, in order to complete their life cycles. Cedar rust, for instance, grows on cedar and on apple trees, needing both for development. Blister rust of pine grows on pines and either currant or gooseberry bushes. Black stem rust Puccinia graminis is one of the most destructive to wheat, rye, and other grasses; barberry is an alternate host. Rusts attack all cereal crops and many fruits, vegetables, forage crops, ornamental plants, and forest trees. Rusts are hard to eradicate; control measures include the use of rust-resistant varieties of seed and the elimination of alternate hosts in agricultural areas. Rusts are classified in the kingdom Fungi, phylum (division) Basidiomycota, order Uredinales.

Rancidification is the decomposition of fat, oils and different lipids by hydrolysis or oxidation, or the two A chemical compound or substance that inhibits oxidation. A substance, which includes nutrition E, nutrition C, or beta carotene, concept to guard physique cells from the harmful effects of oxidation. In huge words, the interplay between a fabric and its atmosphere that leads to a degradation of the particular, mechanical, or maybe esthetic properties of that textile. greater truly, corrosion is many times linked with a metamorphosis interior the oxidation state of a metallic, oxide, or semiconductor. Any of numerous powdery or scaly reddish-brown or reddish-yellow hydrated ferric oxides shaped on iron and iron-containing components by low-temperature oxidation interior the presence of water. Any of numerous metallic coatings, fairly oxides, shaped by corrosion. A stain or coating resembling iron rust. Deterioration, as of skill, hence of state of no interest or forget. Botany. Rust fungus. A plant ailment brought about by a rust fungus, characterised by reddish or brownish spots on leaves, stems, and different components. a good brown.

Rust (Fe2O3) is oxidised iron, caused by keeping iron exposed to (or in contact with) with water or moisture for too long. To prevent iron rusting, it is often coated, usually with tin, nickel or zinc.

redox reaction between iron and oxygen with water to form iron(3)oxide
2Fe + O2 + H2O= Fe(OH)2 wich further reacts with O2
4Fe(OH)2 + O2= 2(Fe2O3.xH2O) + 2H2O
