When oxygen reacts with iron then form iron oxide and weight increase by adding of oxygen with Fe.

Rusting results in increase of weight. Example - Increase in weight of a ship due to rusting affects its buyouncy where it has a tendency to sink. Hence should be replaced.

Rust of iron gets heavier than simple iron and rust of iron is iron oxide.

Iron oxide is junk. So it increases the wait of the nail.

Generally we all know that 1+1 = 2.

Here it is Fe+O2 = Fe2O3.

Rust composed of iron and oxygen, that's why its weight is increased as compared to iron.

When iron nail is rusted then it should be decrease his wright by decreasing there density. I think so.
