Neutral, rust is the oxygen salt of iron. Also, insoluble in water.

salty water would make and object rust quicker than cold water :)
vinegar contains acetic acid which releases hydrogen ions, so vinegar is acidic meanign it contains hydrogen ions. These acids make metals corrode (break down) the water in vinegar and oxygen in the air makes the metals with iron in them (since iron is the only metal that oxidizes, or rusts) form iron oxide which is the scientific name for rust.
You can remove the green stain on metal by treating the rust stains with a cleaning agent such as a lime remover or some kind of harsh acidic substance.

It can. Many juices are acidic, which will cause iron to rust fairly quickly.
Rust is formed in the presence of water and oxygen; also wine is acidic.
Oranges and other acidic fruit like lemon have acids in them that will rust the metal

Vegetable oil does not cause rust. It is slightly acidic, its similar to a lubricant and it can prevent rust.
water would make a nail rust faster because nails rust faster in water or any acidic liquads. As I been told
Something highly acidic such as coca-cola or lemon juice would suffice, leave them in a glass of the liquid overnight and the rust should be removed by morning.
Both soda and orange juice are acidic, but the carbination in most sodas make it more acidic than the mildly-acidic citric acid in orange juice.
I consider that the word rust is not adequate for rocks; rocks can be destroyed with the action of acidic compounds from the atmosphere (carbon, sulfur, nitrogen oxides dissolved in water).
Lemons are acidic. Vinegar (acetic acid) is another excellent rust agent. You should conduct an experiment to see which liquid induces the most rapid iron oxidation.
They can rust over time, especially if they are subjected to very acidic environments. If you live near train tracks, a body of salt water, or you live in an area that is subject to high levels of air pollution, then yes, they can rust over time.
