7.What effect does water pH have on the rusting of nails?
The nails should be covered by the shingles or caulk. They should not be rusting.
prevents rusting.
If you're speaking about nails as in "hammer & nails" then the effect of water and oxygen will eventually corrode them by rusting.
It prevents the body from rusting.
The fat present in milk becomes deposited on nails and it is water repellent.
Common (uncoated) finishing nails would work.
Nails are commonly coated with zinc to prevent rusting. This process, known as galvanization, involves applying a protective layer of zinc to the surface of the nail through either electroplating or hot-dip galvanizing. This zinc coating acts as a barrier against corrosion, increasing the lifespan of the nail.
If they are Iron Nails it is:FeH + O2 --> CO2 + H2OThis is Unbalanced
Rusting of iron needs the presence of water.
Coating prevent the iron from contacting air and moisture. So it prevents iron from rusting.
Rusting of nails is a chemical reaction where iron in the nails reacts with oxygen in the air and water to form iron oxide (rust). This process is a redox reaction where iron is oxidized and oxygen is reduced. The rusting of nails eventually leads to their deterioration and weakening.
