Nails are made of iron, but pennies are copper and zinc. Iron reacts with oxygen to form rust, but copper on the outside of a penny does not.
A nail will rust faster in wet soil than water, but if the soil is not wet , the nail will rust faster in water. I hope this answers your question. Bye, Annette Pfohl
Salt water will rust a penny faster than vinegar because salt water is an electrolyte that enhances the electrical conductivity, accelerating the oxidation process on the surface of the penny.
Yes it does I did an experiment on it
Bleach rusts faster i know this because I did a science experiment on this and bleach was first to begin first
An iron nail will rust faster in saltwater than in tap water. This is because saltwater is conductive and accelerates the rusting process by promoting the flow of electrons between the iron nail and oxygen in the water.
i know for a fact that pennies only tarnish. paper clips usually are painted, and needles do not rust all that easily. nails rust faster. sprite has little caffine, and the orange juice has acid. those are ruled out. water wins. nails rust faster in water.
Salt water does make nails rust faster than non-salted water, because when salt is added to water, it will rust the top layer of the nail, and then make the nail basically shed its top layer. Then the salt will rust that layer, and this process continues until the whole nail is rusted. Normal water can only really rust the top layer, and can't get to the rest of the nail.
Yes, because the chlorine ion is corrosive.
i think a nail would rust in coke the most because t is carbonated but i also think it would rust faster in bleach because it has stronger chemicals than coke and water you should know that it rust there but it takes longer. bye monei152
First of all Nails in salt water rust quicker. That's because salt is sodium chloride and that affects a nail by rusting it.No i did a experiment on which one rust faster. After 5 days the nail in the tap water rusted way faster than the nail in the salt water. With DISTILLED water, the nail will not rust as fast as the salt. TAP water will rust faster then salt.
An iron material can easily rust in the presence of air and water. For example if an iron nail is half dipped in water and the rest of the nail is open in the presence of air then the nail can easily rust.
The heads and tips of an iron nail rust faster because they are exposed to more moisture and oxygen, which are necessary for the rusting process. The surface area of the heads and tips is also larger compared to the body, allowing for more contact with these rust-inducing elements.
