Does acidic liquids or basic liquids rust a paper clip faster?

Acidic liquids tend to rust a paper clip faster than basic liquids. Acidic solutions, such as vinegar or lemon juice, can accelerate the corrosion process by increasing the rate of oxidation of the metal in the paper clip. Basic liquids, on the other hand, are less corrosive and are less likely to cause rusting in a paper clip.


In certain liquids does a penny rust?

What is rust composed of?

Rust (in its "regular" red form) is an iron oxide called iron(III) oxide. It's formula is Fe2O3, and we call it ferric oxide or hematite. And that's different from iron (II) oxide FeO, or iron (II,III) oxide Fe3O4. There are three basic forms of oxidized iron, and there they are. Wikipedia has more information, and a link to their post is provided below. Rust is basically ferric oxide caused by the action of air, or to be more precise, the action of oxygen and water droplets on iron.


Why iron does not rust?
