Want this question answered?
I think that the point is: 1) if you have rust, then vinegar that contains acetic acids, will dissolve your rust 2) if the steel or iron doesn't have rust, then vinegar can rust the steel or iron 'cause it contains an acid. I means that acid will corrode steel or iron but even dissolve rust, that is an iron oxide.
Some physical changes with steel occur when you melt the steel or when you crush steel.
An acid/water mix causes the steel to rust faster by eating away at the oxidized outer layer of metal. As this happens the outer layer flakes off and rusts, as the outer layer flakes off the newly exposed metal then begins the same process. Without the acid the water will still cause it to rust, but not as quickly.
Salt
It is because salt is most involved in chemical reactions so it chemically changes it with rust.
Yes it does because it causes corrosion.
Well steel is metal.
Citric acid does rust nails because it dissolves it from steel.
yes
Yes, it actually rust's faster than in normal water.
a nail that is made from steel
acid
Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen. They rust faster in salty water or acid rain

The acid in the drink makes the nail rust. The nail would rust if you put it in any liquid, but acid makes it rust faster.

Not exactly. Acid eats iron through a chemical reaction, but oxidation (rust) is something different.
