The rusty nail weighs more. Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air. When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
Yes, rust (iron oxide) would increase the weight of a nail. This is due to the additional mass of the oxygen which is bonded to the nail. The change would likely be very very small (perhaps difficult to measure without precise, lab-grade equipment).
A rusty nail is heavier as it contains not only the original metal but also the oxygen and water of hydration that made it rust. This change in mass is small however as the Atomic Mass of the metal atoms is several times that of the atomic mass of the oxygen and molecular mass of the water of hydration that have been added.
Yes absolutely it does. Rust is Iron with oxygen added as rust is an oxide of iron. In multiple scientific tests this has been proven. Common sense says it is true also.
Yes, nails are Iron while rust is Iron oxide so when oxygen added the mass becomes increased.
Its weight increases because it reacting with oxygen to form a compound.
The weight (mass) would increase because the iron (Fe) is turning mostly into iron oxide (Fe2O3). So, the weight would increase by the amount of oxygen (and water) that have been added.
The weight increase if the rust is not removed.
yes....

Well I did and experiment for 30 days with 7up and an iron nail and it did not rust.
It depends on the quality of the nail. If it is painted it Amy take long to rust. In general it may take a month or so for the nail to rust.
the type of liquid that causes a nail to rust is vinegar
The steel nail will rust.
no it coudn't
It will add mass to the nail. When the chemical reaction of rusting takes place, some oxygen is bounded to the nail. The oxygen is what increases the mass.
You rust a nail in either salt water or in vingar that what makes a nail rust
Yes ,Clorox can make a nail rust.
Because a rusty nail still contains the same amount of iron that was present in the unrusted nail only it now contains the additonal weight of the oxygen which has combined with the iron to form rust.
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
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.
Well I did and experiment for 30 days with 7up and an iron nail and it did not rust.
The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
Most commonly, the coating on a nail that resists rust is zinc.
it would have to be salt water or vinegar or both to rust a steel nail
The oxygen in the water reacts with the metal in the nail - forming metal oxide (rust)
It doesn't rust but it after about a day you will see that the nail has polished and is completely clean
