What experiment can you do to see what affect salt has on iron rusting?

An experiment to show how iron rusts would have three pieces of iron. One would be immersed in an anaerobic fluid, such as oil, another would be in water, and the third would be in open damp air. The control piece, or the piece that is in oil, would not rust, and the other two would at varying rates.

What conditions will make iron and steel rust?
Rusting occur in iron when it reacts with oxygen and water...the less salts in the water the faster the rusting occurs...and the more percentage of oxygen the faster it rusts.
How does adding salt affect the freezing point of water and what is the procedure of this experiment?
Adding salt (sodium chloride) the freezing point of water decrease; for an experiment add gradually salt (in known quantities) and measure the freezing point after each addition.
When putting iron nails into sugar salt or tap water which water would rust the nail quicker?
It will rust faster in a salt water base and it will also rust faster in a tap water base not a sugary or a pop type, they have a slower fashion of rusting.
What would the observations be in an experiment where iron steel wool is added to salt water temperatures and times included?
During time some corrosion can be observed.
What is an element salt iron nylon or salt?
iron is an element
How does salt affect the rusting away of metals?

When rusting of iron take plce?
When Iron became in contact with water and oxygen or other strong oxidants or acids the rusting took place. The rusting is an electrochemical process which started with the transfer of electrons form iron to oxygen. If salt is present then it also accelerate the rusting process.
Does iron rust the quickest in freshwater or saltwater?
Iron rusts better in salt water. The salt helps speed up the process of rusting.
What are the effects of salt water vs chlorinated water when rusting iron?
it rusts
How rusting of iron fast in coastal areas than deserts?
Rusting is strongly favored in humid atmosphere and also by the ion chloride from salt.
What accelerates the rusting process?
Wateroxygenhope this helped x
Effects of salt on the rate of rusting?
The rate of rusting increases with the presence of salt.
Does sugar water cause rust?
Iron is a highly reactive metal and when exposed to air, water and moisture, it starts reacting with them and forms rust. Basically rusting is the reaction of iron with oxygen and iron is nothing but iron oxide(Fe2O3). Iron things can be protected from rusting by using paints, galvanization etc.
What conditions will make iron and steel rust?
Rusting occur in iron when it reacts with oxygen and water...the less salts in the water the faster the rusting occurs...and the more percentage of oxygen the faster it rusts.
Can you give me a step by step result of iron nails rusting in salt water for a science project?
I am not sure what your project consists of. The only result of iron rusting is that metallic iron becomes the compound iron oxide. You might want to examine the role of salt as a catalyst for rusting. Prepare, let us say, four glasses. Put a nail in each. The first glass can be dry. The second can have pure water. The third can have mildly salty water. The fourth can have very salty water. You can then compare the rate at which the nails rust, in all four glasses.
Can Acetic acid remove rust on iron?
Acetic acid breaks down the rusticles, or salt deposits, in the rusting iron, there fore causing it to turna n orangy color and flake. The salt particles are there to preserve the iron, and when the acid breaks it down, there is nothing ot protect that weak outer layer of coretic iron Acetic acid breaks down the rusticles, or salt deposits, in the rusting iron, there fore causing it to turna n orangy color and flake.

What happens to the weight of an iron nail after 3 days in salt water?
The iron rusts. It absorbs oxygen from the water to form iron oxide. So it gets heavier.
