How do you stop rust in a steel water tank?
don't put water in a tank
How do you extract potassium from banana?
Yo can use steel wool to take of the oxide layer or put it in nitric acid not for to long or it will disolve the potassium
What happens when you put a penny in water?
it sinks
What happens if you put sulfur in water?
it dissolves
How long does it take for acid to rust metal?
It takes about 4-5 days. Iron rusts because it meets with oxygen ,It rusts faster in water than in acid because water has more oxygen. You can do the test: just put steel wool in a jar of water and in a jar of vinegar (be sure to label and close the lid) then observe the next day and again and again after that
What is the difference when you put water on steel wool and salt on steel wool?
the wool does not rust
What happens when you put steel wool in a jar?
Steel wool is not soluble in water, neither can it absorb water but can get wet so if you take the steel wool out of the water the wet (due to capillary action and surface tension) steel wool will weigh more than dry steel wool. Then the steel wool will rust (and the mass will increase because oxygen unites with iron to form the rust).
Why does steel wool burn?
if you put steel wool at the tip of a 9 volt battery
What happens when you put steel into water?
Well when you put steel in water, the water will make the steel more softened, and then the rust starts forming cause the water dissolves the steel atoms then you have a red rusted steel metals.
Why is the combustion of steel wool similar to the corrosion of steel wool?
Both need oxygen and a main heat source like a Bunsen burner witch is a non luminous flame but you can use a wick candle and take a piece of steel wool and fluff it up a bit so oxygen can get in to the spaces to let the steel wool burn faster and more efficient because the oxygen feeds the flame. Then light the fluffed steel wool. You will see a combustion reaction with the steel wool, the oxygen and it's ignition source. 2Fe + 3O2 + heat = then make your observation The same kind of reaction goes with the rusting of steel wool but it's just oxidization of the iron in the steel and to have a rusting reaction you will need a liquid compound such as water or some time gasoline will rust steel but the test you would do gasoline would not be a safe solution but water would work better because the natural sodium and other minerals would help in the decomposition reaction to the steel So for the test take steel wool ( just about a half a gram) and jam it in the back of a long but narrow test tube the take a graduated cylinder and put about 50ml just enough for a precipitation reaction ( basically condensation) so the steel wool can have O2 and H2O to rust the steel wool. So put the narrow cylinder test tube face down in the water so the steel wool at the bottom of the test tube us faceing down and not in the water. So right now theirs a tight seal of O2 and H2O vapors allowing a decomposition reaction Fe + O2 + H2O = observe the results may vary The similarity is they both use a single decomposition reaction
What temperature would water be if steel was put in it?
That really depends on the temperature of the water and the steel !

How do you stop rust in a steel water tank?

How do you put smaller rubber handle on a bigger steel rod?
This depends on the type rubber. Example if it is a material used in making water pipe Boil up some water put on end of the rubber ( or plastic in the water it will expand and allow you to put it on the steel rod. If not try greasing the steel rod where you intend to put the rubber on.
How do you clean merino wool bedding?
