Question

How does rusting differ from a combustion reaction?

O A. Rusting involves combining with oxygen, and combustion does not.
O B. Although both involve combining with oxygen, combustion is more rapid. O C. Combustion involves combining with oxygen, and rusting does not. O D. Rusting is a redox reaction, and combustion is not.​

Answer 1

B. Although both involve combining with oxygen, combustion is more rapid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both rusting and combustion involves are combination in which a substance reacts with oxygen.

• The difference between both processes is that burning is a rapid process. Oxygen combines with a fuel in a very fast rate.
• Rusting is a slow process and it takes time.
• Water vapor is often needed for this reaction to take place.
• The rate at which combustion occurs is more rapid compared to slow, rusting process.
