An acid/water mix causes the steel to rust faster by eating away at the oxidized outer layer of metal. As this happens the outer layer flakes off and rusts, as the outer layer flakes off the newly exposed metal then begins the same process. Without the acid the water will still cause it to rust, but not as quickly.

∙ 7y agovinegar is a weak acid, and therefor is a reductant, donates H+, rather than an oxidizer. Rust is what you get when iron oxidizes. So, a nail will never rust in vinegar.

∙ 12y agovinegar rusts steel because vinegar is partly acid which can, after time melt any kind of metal. Besides titanium :)

What make soluble in water will fizz when hydrochloric acid is added?
is soluble in water and will fizz when hydrochloric acid is added
What mixes with water to form a weak acid?
Carbon dioxide (CO2) mixes with water to make a weak carbonic acid
What is called when an acid and a base are combined to make salt and water?
An acid and a base combining is called a neutralization reaction, and it forms salt and water.
When acids dissolve in water what do they make?
For an acid to really work as an acid it must be in water. Acids not in water are typically crystalline and relatively nonreactive until in aq. form.
What can you use to make metal rust?
Dilute hydrochloric acid will make steel corrode extremely quickly. Other metals need other agents to make them corrode "rust"
What is the responding variable when testing acid and water to make acid rain and objects are added to the mixture to see how fast something corrodes?
The objects being added.
Why can steel not be used to make the hot water tank?
You can't use steel to make a hot water tank because steel can rust.
Why does adding water to acid make it easier to deal with?
why does adding water to an acid make it eaiser to deal with
Does Acid Rain Make Steel Rust Faster?
Yes it does because it causes corrosion.
What does vinegar and water make?
it makes acid water.
6 What happens when an acid is dissolved in water?
it is still acid but weaker because the water-acid base ratio grows depending on how much water or acid base there is You need water to make acid (e.g. Hydrogen Chloride itself is not acid, it is an acid base, but when dissolved in water it is a very strong acid)
Will sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid corrode steel?
Both Hydrochloric Acid and Sulfuric Acid will corrode steel. HCl is used as a "pickling agent" for steel by converting rust (Iron Oxide) to Ferrous Chloride. H2SO4 is also capable of attacking Iron and Magnesium to form Metal-Sulfate mineral complexes. The corrosion rate of steel in sulfuric acid depends on temperature and concentration. In storage tanks and pipes the corrosion rate is also a function of flow velocity. but if you try flourosulphuric acid then it will literally make the steel disappear.... and acids like carborane and magic acid these are strongest acids
How to make dilute h2so4?
Add acid to water (and NEVER add water to acid). The amount of water, depends on the exact concentration of the dilute acid needed.
When you make hydrogen from magnesuim or zinc and an acid where does the hydrogen come from?
From the acid (or the water with which the acid is diluted).
How sulfertrioxide react to make sulphuric acid?
Sulfur trioxide dissolves in water to make Sulfuric acid
What does an acid and a base make?
salt and water
Sulfuric acid and potassium dichromate in ethanol make?
Ethanoic acid and water.
