Which would corrode more quickly a pipe that carries cold water or one that carries hot water?

the heat from hot water will heat the pipe, loosening the bonds between the molecules in the pipe and allowing for more oxygen molecules to enter, creating more rust much faster. cold water will do the opposite; it will make the bonds tighter and allow LESS oxygen in.

Why would a nail corrode more quickly in saltwater?
because sea water have a higher concentration than distilled water
What would happen if DO was insoluble in water?
Water could be poisonous as some hard metals would dissolve into in with out the presence of DO. As well, fish and aquatic plant would die if there was no oxygen. Drinking water would not taste as good either. A good thing that could occur would be that pipes would not corrode as quickly.
Why is pure iron not good for a hip replacement?
Iron will corrode (rust) in the body for a start. It is also not strong enough, the surface would also wear quickly.
Why would water be at the bottom of the water heater?
1- Condensation because the tank is cooler then the ambient temperature when water is being drawn2- The tank is starting to corrode
If steel and copper were in contact in an electrolyte which would corrode?
Steel will corrode as the iron in it is more reactive than copper.
Why don't we make ships of sodium or magnesium?
We don't use them because they react with water. Sodium reacts quickly and quite violently, magnesium is slower, but would still be eaten away. In fact we deliberately use blocks of magnesium on the hulls of ships so that they will corrode in preference to the iron hull.
Which would corrode more quickly a pipe with hot water or a pipe with cold water?
the pipe with the hot water will.]The piping with cold water as many hydronic systems are over 100 years old and the piping looks as new as the day it was installedAs long as thermo stress and velocity are taken into consideration hot water lines can last longer then their cold countter parts as cold piping becomes more brittle over the years
Does canal water carries potassium?
Some canals might have potassium, some would not.
Would water freeze quickly then coke?
Yes pure water freezes more quickly than water with solvents (sugar, acid, etc.) like in Coke
What would happen if you put a water lily the desert?
If the water lilly was placed in an area with permanent water. it would probably do fine. Without water, however, it would quickly die.
Why wouldn't pure iron be suitable for a hip replacement?
Iron is prone to rusting in the presence of water. If you placed iron in the body, which is mainly water, it would rust and corrode. This means it disintergrates. It would also release dangerous amounts of Iron Oxides into the blood.
What are the physical and chemical properties of the raft that would be important to ensure your safety?
First make sure it can float. Then make sure that the materials used will not corrode too quickly, especially in salt-water. It would be advantageous to have a sail or a rudder. Shelter from the sun and a place to store food & water are essential.
