What is the effect of water on nails?

If you're speaking about nails as in "hammer & nails" then the effect of water and oxygen will eventually corrode them by rusting.


Does sugar make nails rust?

No, sugar does not make nails rust. Rusting is a process that happens when iron or steel reacts with oxygen and water to form iron oxide. Sugar does not contain the elements necessary for rusting to occur.


Why does milk stop nails from rusting?

The fat present in milk becomes deposited on nails and it is water repellent.


Why do dry nails not rust?

Rusting of iron needs the presence of water.


Is water boiling sugar dissolving or nails rusting a chemical reaction?

Water boiling is a physical process; also dissolving. Rusting is a chemical process (oxidation).


Where those rusting nail belong in chemical reaction?

Rusting of nails is a chemical reaction where iron in the nails reacts with oxygen in the air and water to form iron oxide (rust). This process is a redox reaction where iron is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. The rusting of nails eventually leads to their deterioration and weakening.

Does presence of salt in the water makes nails rust more quickly?

Yes, saltwater can accelerate the rusting process of nails. The salt in the water increases the electrical conductivity, causing the nails to corrode more rapidly when exposed to moisture.


Will the rusting of nails in a sodium chloride - water solution effect the reading off a voltmeter or ammeter?

An ammeter or a voltmeter gives the reading of the flow of current, which is due to the movements of ions. When a rusted nail is immersed in the solution it will add the no of ions into the solution. This will increase the ion concentration and therefore will change the reading of a voltmeter and ammeter.


Do nails rust faster in tap water salt water or vinegar?

Nails will rust faster in salt water compared to tap water or vinegar. Salt water contains electrolytes that accelerate the rusting process by increasing the conductivity of the water. Vinegar, on the other hand, is slightly acidic and might slow down the rusting process by forming a protective layer on the nail's surface.


How do nails rust in liquid?

it is caused by a chemical reaction with the metal and the substance. There are many experiments you can do to prove this


How does tap water rust iron nails?

Tap water contains dissolved oxygen and other minerals that can accelerate the rusting process of iron nails. When iron is exposed to water and oxygen, a chemical reaction occurs called corrosion, leading to the formation of iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the nails.
