Solution

When a piece of iron is left in open for some time, it acquires a film of brownish substance called rust. The process is known as rusting.

Iron (Fe) + Oxygen (O₂) + water (H₂O) → Rust (iron oxide) (Fe₂O₃.H₂O)

Both oxygen and water or water vapours are essential for the process of rusting.
