Water accelerates the oxidation of iron (i.e. rusting) by allowing electrical currents to form, essentially creating small electrochemical cells. Sea water, which contains more dissolves salts, conducts electricity more easily than does fresh water, further accelerating this reaction.
What else can I help you with?
Why do objects further away from the sea rust the least faster than those closer to the sea?
Because there is more salt in the air from the sea winds; And we know that the mixture of salt and water makes metal rust.
Why do ships suffer a lot of damage due to rust?
They spend a lot of time at sea... Salt water is corrosive - any imperfection in the ship's paint allows the salt water to penetrate the hull. Water and metal creates rust !
What water can make the nail rust the fastest?
Sea water can rust nails or other metals.
Why do metals closer to the sea rust faster?
The sea air has moisture in it, causing the metal to corrode faster.
What does rust form in the best?
sea water (salt water)
What is the effect does water have on steel?
Think this through. What is the difference between sea water and freshwater? Salt. What does salt do? Rust or create buildups on metal. What types of metal? Several types including iron and steel.
Is sea water is metal?
no.
What causes metal to rust fastest?
the cells expand - water/moisture - salty sea water - speeds up - household detergents - oxygen - high tempertature There are NO cells in any metal whatsoever. Sea water is called sea water because it is salty, and high temperatures don't help at all. What kind of a moron thinks this? Go back to physical science!
What metal wont rust in sea water?
All metals will rust to a certain extent, but metals such as gold and titanium are highly resistant to corrosion. Ships, boats and rigs are fitted with 'sacrificial' annodes sometimes, which are usually large lumps of zinc. These corrode in place of other metal parts and structures, meaning that the important metal parts are less likely to corrode.
Why a steel bar near the sea will rust faster than a steel bar near a river?
Because there is salt spray (wind spraying the sea water) near the sea which causes steel to rust.
Why a car will rust more near the sea?
When salt and water and air combine, it accelerates the oxidation, therefore making the car rust faster :)
What metal can be economically removed from sea water?
The most awaited metal that can be removed from the sea water is sodium and chlorine and as followed be other metals such as Mg, etc.
