The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
Distilled water will rust a nail faster as distilled water contains higher levels of OXYGEN which is what causes OXIDATION or commonly referred to as rust...
it would rust
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
You rust a nail in either salt water or in vingar that what makes a nail rust
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
The oxygen that is dissolved in the water.
If both t etap water and the distilled water are open to the air and both have dissolved oxygen then the iron nail will rust faster in tap water. Rusting requires dissolved oxygen and goes faster if there are dissolved salts.
The Oxygen in the water reacts with the iron in the nail, making Ferrous Oxide
The water (H2O) in it.
The acid in the drink makes the nail rust. The nail would rust if you put it in any liquid, but acid makes it rust faster.
It's not just saltwater that makes a nail rust, even water makes a nail rust. Rust is simply oxidation, it happens when oxygen comes into contact with something and creates a chemical reaction and creates "oxides". Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide (red rust on steel)
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
