Complete the process of iron rusting by filling the blanks. Suggest a way to prohibit the process.
The iron rust is formed due to reaction. Different regions on iron surface become anode and cathode.
Reaction on anode region:

Fe _{( s )} \rightarrow Fe ^{2+}( aq )+2 e ^{-}
$
Reaction on cathode region:
$
O _{2( g )}+4 H ^{+}( aq )+\ldots \ldots . .2 H _2 O _{( l )}
$
when $Fe ^{2+}$ ions migrate from anode region they react with.......to fomm $Fe ^{3+}$ ions.
