Is salt water oxyge n or air an element?
Salt water is a mixture of water and salt, oxygen is a compound, and air is a mixture of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is an element found in the air, but salt water does not contain oxygen as an element.
How does salt water rust nails?
it is because of the oxygen
Does tap water or salt water cause metals to rust faster and why?
Most likely salt water. The salt accelerates the rate of corrosion, plus it has the oxygen needed for the metal to rust. Tap water has the oxygen too but with the salt also, it would cause the metal to rust more rapidly.
Why does tap water rust faster than salt water?
It doesnt. salt water usually rusts metals faster because of the mixture of salt, water and oxygen that rusts the metal, but tap water has less oxygen and no salt.
What water will rust a nail the fastest tap water salt water or distilled?
Distilled water will rust a nail faster as distilled water contains higher levels of OXYGEN which is what causes OXIDATION or commonly referred to as rust...
What makes salt water rust a nail?

Salt cannot evaporate from the sea so why do nails rust at the coast even if they are not submerged in salt water?
Nails rust because of O2 or oxygen, when it reacts with metals inside the nail
What factors of salt water make iron rust?
Two conditions: - dissolved oxygen - the ion Cl-
Are water salt and rust elements?
None of those are. Water is made of two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. Table salt is one sodium molecule and one chloride molecule (Other types of salt have different molecules but all of them have sodium. That is why MSG which is mono sodium glutamate is listed in your sodium intake). Sugar is definitely not one element. It is a lot of different types of elements put together. So many I can't remember what it is but I remember there are 11 molecules of a certain element.
How does saltwater make nails rust?
Any water makes iron rust. Rust is iron oxide. It happens when water allows the oxygen to dissolve in it and get to the surface of the metal. Salt water has dissolve salts in it which makes it work faster.
