Do copper pennies rust in soda or vinegar faster?
Pennies don't rust; they're copper. They corrode. The phosphoric acid, carbonation and salt in soda will corrode a penny faster than the other liquids.
Why does using powdered iron make a reaction go faster than using a single piece of iron?
It has a greater surface area than the single piece of iron
Does magnesium react faster with acids than iron does?
Yes, and violently so.
Why does iron rust faster in salt water than in tap water?
Salt water contains Na+ & Cl- ions which are highly reactive with iron to form FeCl2 .So iron rust faster in salt water.
What corrodes faster than iron?
The list begins with the more active (anodic) metal and proceeds down the to the least active (cathodic) metal of the galvanic series. A "galvanic series" applies to a particular electrolyte solution, hence for each specific solution which is expected to be encountered for actual use, a different order or series will ensue. In a galvanic couple, the metal higher in the series (or the smaller) represents the anode, and will corrode preferentially in the environment. 1. Magnesium 2.

Will sprite corrode faster than coke?
yes it will i did an experiment and sprite does corrode faster and better than coke.
Does iron rust faster in vinegar saltwater or freshwater?
Zinc will corrode in vinegar faster than salt water
Does metal corrode faster than plastic?
Good question! YES indeed metal does corrode faster than plastic!
Does a nickel corrode faster in salt water than in tap water?
All metals will corrode faster in salt water than in tap water. Corrosion involves the movement of ions and electrons. Having extra ions in the water (salty water has sodium and chlorine ions) speeds this up.
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.
Which would corrode first copper or iron?
Aluminum (US spelling) is actually much more reactive than iron, and would corrode faster. In fact, it corrodes so fast that in forms a coating of aluminum oxide on any surface in contact with air. But since the surface is covered, it protects the rest of the metal, and it never corrodes deeper than a fraction of a millimeter. So technically, aluminum corrodes much faster, but much less completely because most of the mass of it is protected by the corroded layer.
Does iron heat faster than glass?
iron travels faster
how quickly does an iron nail rust in saltwater?
The combination of moisture, oxygen and salt, especially sodium chloride, damages metal worse than rust does. This combination corrodes, or eats away at, the metal, weakening it and causing it to fall apart. Saltwater corrodes metal five times faster than fresh water does and the salty, humid ocean air causes metal to corrode 10 times faster than air with normal humidity. Bacteria in ocean water also consumes iron and their excretions turn to rust.
What are the characteristics of spheroidal grey cast iron and how it is better than cast steel?
Cast Iron does not rust or corrode as steel can
Do copper pennies rust in soda or vinegar faster?
Pennies don't rust; they're copper. They corrode. The phosphoric acid, carbonation and salt in soda will corrode a penny faster than the other liquids.
Do bronze coffins rust 1860?
Bronze does not rust the way that iron does, bronze will corrode, but at a much slower rate than iron.
What element is most reactive sodium magnesium or iron?
Sodium is more reactive than either magnesium or iron.
