You rust a nail in either salt water or in vingar that what makes a nail rust
The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
The oxygen in the water reacts with the metal in the nail - forming metal oxide (rust)
A nail will rust faster in wet soil than water, but if the soil is not wet , the nail will rust faster in water. I hope this answers your question. Bye, Annette Pfohl
water
Distilled water will rust a nail faster as distilled water contains higher levels of OXYGEN which is what causes OXIDATION or commonly referred to as rust...
The best solution to rust a nail is to apply a rust converter or a rust inhibitor. This will help to neutralize the rust and prevent further corrosion. Sanding the nail to remove the rust and then painting it with a rust-resistant paint can also be effective.
Sea water can rust nails or other metals.
Salt Water!
If a nail is kept in tap water, it can start to rust due to the presence of oxygen and minerals in water. Over time, the nail's surface may corrode and form a reddish-brown layer known as rust.
water would make a nail rust faster because nails rust faster in water or any acidic liquads. As I been told
This really depends on the concentration of impurities in water. More the impurities, faster it will rust the iron nail. To reduce rusting of any iron the best way is to paint the nail.
