The acidity of the soda accelerates the process, but the nail would rust in a glass of pure water as well. Rust is caused by oxygen in the air, but various other chemicals can catalyse that process.
If you put a nail in soda, the nail will begin to corrode due to the acidic nature of the soda. This process is known as chemical oxidation, where the metal of the nail reacts with the acid in the soda to form rust. Over time, the nail will deteriorate and eventually dissolve.
In a study done for a science fair project I found that when placing a nail in Mt. Dew, Orange Crush and Diet Pepsi that the Diet Pepsi rusted the nail far more than the other two sodas. Only a small amount of rust was found on the nails in the lighter sodas. The experiment was conducted over a period of 16 days. Hope this answers your question :)
niether it will rust faster in soda because of the chemicals and acids in the soda. F.Y.I soda eats your stomach just like it will eat the iron nail. if you dont believe this look it up or ask your science teacher or parent(s)
The best solution to rust a nail is to apply a rust converter or a rust inhibitor. This will help to neutralize the rust and prevent further corrosion. Sanding the nail to remove the rust and then painting it with a rust-resistant paint can also be effective.
The new product formed when a nail rusts is iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Rust is a reddish-brown compound that forms when iron reacts with oxygen and moisture in the air. It weakens the nail over time and can cause it to deteriorate.

The oxygen in the water reacts with the metal in the nail - forming metal oxide (rust)
Substances like vinegar, lemon juice, or baking soda can be used to remove rust from a nail. These substances contain acids that help break down the rust, making it easier to scrub off the surface of the nail. Additionally, commercial rust removers or specialized rust-removing solutions can also effectively remove rust from nails.
Because of chemical reaction

Water and air in combination will rapidly cause iron to rust.
When rust forms on a nail the dark brown colour is the characteristics of rusting.
You rust a nail in either salt water or in vingar that what makes a nail rust
