What else can I help you with?
What water can make the nail rust the fastest?
Sea water can rust nails or other metals.
What causes different metals to rust?
Light and water and Oxygen. Metals which easily form oxides, especially when wet, will rust.
Will metals rust faster in acids or water?
acid
What type of compound is formed when the metals react with water?
rust
What metals rust the fastest?
Iron and steel are the metals that rust the fastest due to their high reactivity with oxygen in the presence of water. Other metals like aluminum can also rust quickly depending on the conditions, but iron and steel are generally more prone to corrosion.
Do all metals rust?
Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.
What air that gives rust to metals?
Explosure to moist air will form rust on metals.
Which metals rust in water?
Rust, by definition, is oxidized iron. Therefore iron (Fe) is the only metal element which will rust. However, iron is incorporated into many alloys, such as steel, which will also rust.
What happens if metals react with water?
In the case of rust anyway, metal oxides form
Does all metals decompose?
No not really, metals rust. However, rust can be considered metal decomposition (kind of).
Why do metals need to be protected against rust and tarnish?
Metals need protection against rust and tarnish because these processes can weaken the metal, leading to degradation and structural integrity issues. Rust is a form of corrosion that occurs when iron reacts with oxygen and water, while tarnish is a result of metal reacting with sulfur compounds in the air. Both can compromise the appearance and functionality of the metal.
Do metals gain or lose weight when rusted?
Rust is also known as an object becoming oxidated, this means it gains oxygen. A normal iron atom when left in the atmosphere will rust and gain oxygen FeO this means when things rust they gain weight.
