What makes iron rusts in distilled water?
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
Is iron rust in distilled water?
Yes, provided there is oxygen dissolved, which will be the case if the distilled water is open to the air, a rusting reaction will take place. It will be slow. The reaction is much quicker when there are dissolved salts.
Does distilled water remove rust?
yes
What causes iron changing to rust when it reacts with water?
Iron will begin to rust after exposure to water. The reaction that happens to cause rust is due to the iron oxidizing.
Why does an iron paper clip in sea water rust faster than an iron paper clip in distilled water?
Salt water is an ionic solution. In oxidation, a small amount of electricity is exchanged, adding more ions speeds up the process.
Does distilled water rust iron?
yes it does
Will iron nail rust in boiled water?
Iron must be in contact with oxygen, water (and dissolved ions) to rust. So if it was in boiled water there would be no oxygen present and as long as no oxygen was allowed to dissolve back into the water, for example if a layer of oil was on top of the water, then the iron nail would not rust.
Can rusting happens with iron nail when it is kept in distilled water?
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
What makes iron rusts in distilled water?

What water will rust a nail the fastest tap water salt water or distilled?
Distilled water will rust a nail faster as distilled water contains higher levels of OXYGEN which is what causes OXIDATION or commonly referred to as rust...
What will be observed when iron nail is added to boiled water and kept undisturbed for few days?
It will rust a bit, but not much.
Is iron rust in distilled water?
Yes, provided there is oxygen dissolved, which will be the case if the distilled water is open to the air, a rusting reaction will take place. It will be slow. The reaction is much quicker when there are dissolved salts.
Iron nail rust quicker in tap or distilled water?
If both t etap water and the distilled water are open to the air and both have dissolved oxygen then the iron nail will rust faster in tap water. Rusting requires dissolved oxygen and goes faster if there are dissolved salts.
Does distilled water remove rust?
yes
What causes iron changing to rust when it reacts with water?
Iron will begin to rust after exposure to water. The reaction that happens to cause rust is due to the iron oxidizing.
What makes a nail rust in distilled water?
The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
Will iron react with oxygen to produce rust?
Iron will react with water and oxygen to produce rust. Essentially water has oxygen atoms in it so as long as iron is in contact with water, it will rust.
