What is the fastest way to make an iron nail rust?

water and iron. Creating iron oxide aka rust.

no i think it would rust fastet in tap water

Sea water can rust nails or other metals.

A nail made out of just iron will rust really fast if it is exposed to oxygen. Nails available now, are galvanized nail which has a coating of copper metal on the surface of iron nail. This slows down process of rusting. Exposing a iron nail to water and other acidic environment along with oxygen, can make a nail rust pretty fast.

i think vinegar will make a nail rust faster because vinegar will makes the mental with iron in them.

The rusty nail weighs more. Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air. When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.

An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.

coke will make it rust faster

Evidence of a chemical reaction from the rusting of an iron nail is the formation of brown Iron Oxide. The oxidation of iron is a chemical reaction. Rust is iron oxide. The presence of rust indicates that the iron in the nail has oxidized, which is a chemical reaction.

It's not just saltwater that makes a nail rust, even water makes a nail rust. Rust is simply oxidation, it happens when oxygen comes into contact with something and creates a chemical reaction and creates "oxides". Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide (red rust on steel)

Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides

The salt in the water will speed up the iron nail because the chemicals in the salt water on the nail creates faded substances

No. Paint keeps the iron from oxidizing and creating rust. The nail must be rust free before the paint is applied.

Wet it and bury it in wet soil

Well I did and experiment for 30 days with 7up and an iron nail and it did not rust.

If the water is oxygenated, the nail will react because rust is Iron Oxide and for Rust to form you need not only Water but Oxygen as well.

bleach makes iron rust because it has the ability to change any colored objects. so if you leave any iron in a cup of bleach you will see the iron starting to rust.

a process called oxidation. oxygen in then air touches the iron on a nail and causes the iron to oxidize and form the rust

They combine to form rust. You might be able to guess from what's combining that "rust" is apparently an iron oxide.

Yes ,Clorox can 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.

because it is highly corrosive

It depends on the quality of the nail. If it is painted it Amy take long to rust. In general it may take a month or so for the nail to rust.
