Metal rust quickly in salt water than it does in pure water.
Iron will rust more quickly in salt water than fresh freshwater. The salt in the water accelerates the corrosion process.
Salt water contains Na+ & Cl- ions which are highly reactive with iron to form FeCl2 .So iron rust faster in salt water.
Modern coins cannot rust, as they are not made of iron.
salty water would make and object rust quicker than cold water :)
Salt water does make nails rust faster than non-salted water, because when salt is added to water, it will rust the top layer of the nail, and then make the nail basically shed its top layer. Then the salt will rust that layer, and this process continues until the whole nail is rusted. Normal water can only really rust the top layer, and can't get to the rest of the nail.
I believe tap runs faster
It doesnt. salt water usually rusts metals faster because of the mixture of salt, water and oxygen that rusts the metal, but tap water has less oxygen and no salt.
Because the ion chloride (Cl-) from salt is very corrosive.
Yes, because the chlorine ion is corrosive.
First of all Nails in salt water rust quicker. That's because salt is sodium chloride and that affects a nail by rusting it.No i did a experiment on which one rust faster. After 5 days the nail in the tap water rusted way faster than the nail in the salt water. With DISTILLED water, the nail will not rust as fast as the salt. TAP water will rust faster then salt.
fresh water is better than salt water fish as it is my choice
