It creates microscopic 'cracks' in the surface - allowing moisture to penetrate deeper than it would normally. Therefore the metal rusts from the inside out.

Where is steel used in Rusting out how acids affect the rate of corrosion?
stain
Will rusting occur in boiled water?
Rusting will occur in boiled water but at a very slow rate. This is mainly due to the fact that water which is boiled is said to be de-ionized.
Is rusting of iron a combustion process?
No. Combustion is where something burns. Rusting is an example of oxidisation. ------------------ Yes, rusting is an example of slow combustion. And yes it is an oxidation reaction too, as Combustion is an oxidation reaction with an evolution of heat and/or light. In rudting there is: 1. Relase of energy. 2. Oxidation Hence, rusting is considered an oxidation reaction.
How do you define Reaction rate?
Simple answer: When a reaction occur change in the concentrations of reactants or products per unit of time is called reaction rate . Scientific answer: The reaction rate (rate of reaction) or speed of reaction for a reactant or product in a particular reaction is intuitively defined as how fast or slow a reaction takes place. for example, the oxidative rusting of iron under the atmosphere is a slow reaction that can take many years, but combustion of cellulose in a fire is a reaction that takes place in fractions of a second.
What is the relationship between the speed of a reaction and the rate of products forming?
It is same thing but speed of reaction also can be measured by rate if disappearance of reactants.
Effects of salt on the rate of rusting?
The rate of rusting increases with the presence of salt.
How effective are steel castings at preventing rusting?
Steel castings can prevent rusting depending on what the kind of steel. Carbon steel may cause rusting at a higher rate than stainless steel.

Why is the rate of rusting on powdered iron be greater that on a lump of iron?
The surface area is bigger.
What does a rate tell you about the speed?
Rate is another word for speed. It is the speed.
Speed is the rate of change of position expressed as what?
Speed is the rate of change in what?
How do you use rate in a math sentence?
If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?If they travelled 350 miles in 7 hours, what rate of speed were they doing?
What is rate of motion?
Speed is the rate of motion.
Rate is related to?
Rate can mean speed
Is speed the rate of change?
NO! It is the rate of reactions!
What is rate of movement?
The rate of movement is speed.
