Based purely on the knowledge of chemistry, rust forms faster in the heat. Rust is the oxidation of iron and this reaction will occur at a faster rate at a higher temperature as the molecules are provided with more kinetic energy. However, the rate of 'rusting' also depends on humidity etc.

Why does iron rust faster in salt water than in tap water?
Salt water contains Na+ & Cl- ions which are highly reactive with iron to form FeCl2 .So iron rust faster in salt water.
Do things rust faster in cold or hot water?
# Most pennies do not rust because they are not made of ferrous metal. They're either copper or copper-plated zinc. # However U.S. cents struck in 1943 were made of zinc-coated steel. When the zinc wore off, the coins did rust. # Pennies wont rust mostly because they corrode and oxidize. # They tend to turn green once oxidized or the penny looks vary dirty.
With what liquid makes a screw rust faster?

Factors that promote rust?
An iron material can easily rust in the presence of air and water. For example if an iron nail is half dipped in water and the rest of the nail is open in the presence of air then the nail can easily rust.
Does a nail rust faster when the air is damp or dry?
it rusts faster when it is damp cause the moisture of the damp and oxygen when they meet they create rust
Does a nickel rust faster in cold water or hot water?
its cold water
What water will rust the fastest cold or hot water?
warm water will rust metal faster
Why does heat cause metal to rust faster?
rust is a chemical change it happens when weather is changing. rust jhappens when oxygen and water hit it
How you keep away your laptop from rust?
Keep it away from muriatic acid (hydrochloric acid). The acid fumes form muriatic can cause metals to rust faster. My dad has a business that uses muriatic acid for cleaning. The smoke from it, can develop rust on metals immediately on the following day. Heat produced by laptop makes rusting even faster... You don't need to apply the acid to form rust. Using the laptop in a room with acid fumes is enough..
What is rust and how fast does rust form in a bowl of water on a nail?
Fe2O3 Iron Oxide time is varying but if the metal is hotter rust occurs faster.
Does rust happen faster in cold or hot temperatures?
no probably because water and air combine to make rust
Why does a penny rust faster in coca cola?
Sugar reaches the copper and they form a physical change
Which liquid will rust a penny faster vinigar or salt water?
it will rust faster in vinegar
Why does iron rust faster in salt water than in tap water?
Salt water contains Na+ & Cl- ions which are highly reactive with iron to form FeCl2 .So iron rust faster in salt water.
Will a thinner object rust faster than a thicker object?
It'll rust away faster, but (assuming they're made from the same alloy) won't start to rust faster.
Why does a nail rust faster than a penny?
Nails are made of iron, but pennies are copper and zinc. Iron reacts with oxygen to form rust, but copper on the outside of a penny does not.
What liquid causes an iron nail to rust faster water or coke?
coke will make it rust faster
