What else can I help you with?
Do all pure metals rust?
No, not all metals rust. Rust itself is iron oxide and comes about when iron metal oxidises; therefore only Iron rusts.
Why does water make a nail rust?
I'm not so good at science but I think The Oxygen from the water (H20) oxidises the iron and makes iron oxide, which is rust.
Is ability to rust a chemical or physical?
It is more chemical because air is considered a chemical and when iron comes in contact with oxygen it oxidises to create rust

What is the chemical equation when metallic iron reacts with water?
Iron does not react with pure water. Dissolved oxygen reacts with iron. Rust is a complex mixture of iron oxides, and hydroxide and hydrated oxides. See the link for a reasonably detailed explanation.
Can metal rust in Anaratica?
Yes but only iron, as only Iron going through the process of oxidisation is called rusting, ( dunno why) if any other metal oxidises it just becomes it's oxidised form, for example - iron and water and oxygen, forms hydrated 111 iron oxide. So to answer only iron can rust in Antarctica, other metals can oxidise
What is an iron nail reactive with when forming rust?
An iron nail is reactive with oxygen and water when forming rust. This reaction occurs when iron is exposed to moisture and oxygen in the air, leading to the formation of iron oxide, which we commonly know as rust.
What liquid would cause a penny and paper clip to rust the fastest?
pennies don't rust, they're made of cooper, rust is iron-oxide (meaning it has iron and oxygen in it). But copper oxidises (tarnishes). so a liquid with a high oxygen content would work
What does iron help you with?
Iron makes up part of the haemoglobin molecule which is oxidised in the lungs when it is exposed to air. Iron turns red when it oxidises (rusts) that's why blood in most arteries away from your lungs is red, and blue on it's return. Oxygen is used in chemical reactions in your mitochondria in your cells that produce energy to run your body.
What do you call a person that is week in iron?
anaemic or iron deficient
What do you call a ship that has been reinforced with iron plating?
Iron clads.
