The iron will not react unless you react it with calcium chloride. This is because Chloride is very electronegative (it has a high affinity for electrons) Both iron and calcium are not very electronegative and would like to give away their electrons. The Chloride ion accepts these electrons to get a full valent shell.

How can you melt a galvanized nail?
well galvanized metal is nothing more than zinc coated steel. Zinc melts at 787.1 F and steel melts at roughly 1200 F depending on the quality of the steel. So yes you can melt a galvanized nail.
Who invented the iron nail?
There are many records of nails in history. Not one particular person created them. Many different peoples created their own versions of nails for construction and other tasks.
What is the use of srew driver?
A screw driver is more high-tech than a regular nail driver or hammer. A screw is a more holding tool than a nail. It has metal ridges around it to hold it in place. A screwdriver is used for putting a screw in an area to fastening to objects and/or parts together
What is concrete nail?
a nail designed to penetrate concrete and hold
How do you make a powerful electromagnet with a 12 or 9 volt battery?
You need 3 main things: An iron core, a roll of insulated copper wire and your source of electricity Firstly find a suitable iron core a iron nail will do (6in 15cm) next wrap the wire (thicker is better) as neatly and tightly as you can around the iron nail. Once the iron is wrapped up tight make sure you have a piece of copper wire comin off each end one where you began the other where you finished wrapping. Now all you need to do is connect it to your battery which terminal you connect each wire will determine current flow. The power of your electromagnet will depend on the wrapping of copperbut mainly the battery and the current it puts out to great a current will heat the wire quickly but a 9 or 12v battery should be fine.
What is the chemical reaction called that is happening to the metal nail?
Most likely, the iron nail is oxidizing. The iron in the nail would then be reacting with the oxygen in the air to form rust.
What happens when an iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate solution?
The iron is more reactive than copper so when the iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate the iron takes sulphate ion from the copper sulphate and copper metal is deposited on top of the iron so that the nail will then look like a copper nail.The chemical reaction is called a replacement reaction, and is chemically represented as : CuSO4(compound in solution) + Fe(metal) ------>Cu(deposited metal) + FeSO4.
What metal is a nail made of?
iron
Why iron nail rusts remains attached to the nail?
because its a chemical reaction
When an iron nail is placed in copper sulphate the iron becomes coated with copper whats this reaction?
a single replacement reaction
What chemical reaction takes place when an iron nail rusts?
Rusting is an oxydation reaction.
Is a rusty nail a chemical or physical change?
A rusting nail is the oxidation of iron, in which the iron in the nail and the oxygen in the air react to form a new substance, iron oxide, with different properties from the iron and the oxygen.
Is a steel nail a metal?
A nail made of steel.
Does a metal nail dessolve in 7Up?
7Up can corrode iron.
Can reaction occur with copper nail and iron chloride?
nope. when u look at the reaction chart iron is stronger than copper so no reaction occur.
What is the reaction of iron nail when in contact with magnesium ribbon?

What Rust-like substances when iron nail dissolved in cupric sulfate?
This is an electrochemical reaction. Copper has a higher reduction potential than iron. Copper "wants" to be in reduced form (metallic form) more than iron does. So when solid iron is introduced to copper ions, you get the following reaction: 2Fe0 + 3Cu2+ ==> 2Fe3+ + 3Cu0 That "rust" like substance on the nail isn't rust - it is precipated copper metal.
