we'll i'd like to say that a nails chemical equation is probably somthing close to Fe
its all iron, and a rusty nail is FeO or iron oxide
to get iron oxide you need oxygen, so things like h2o or water puts oxygen on iron to form rust so that's why things like oil don't effect iron

What causes coca cola to make a nail rust?

Which one rust nails better does tap water soap or lemon juice?
yes any liquid can rust a nail
Why does it take a long time for a nail to rust?
It depends on the conditions. Salt, acidity, temperature and humidity can all effect the rate at which it will rust. The material that the nail is made out of and any other nearby metals will also effect the rate at which it corrodes. In extreme conditions it may take as little as a few days for the rust to become apparent.
Why does acid make an iron nail rust?
It speeds up the oxidation process, or in other words, it speeds up how fast oxygen molecules attach themselves to the iron to create iron oxide (rust).

What will make a nail rust faster in 3 liquds watervinegarsprite?
water would make a nail rust faster because nails rust faster in water or any acidic liquads. As I been told
How fast a nail will rust by water?
This really depends on the concentration of impurities in water. More the impurities, faster it will rust the iron nail. To reduce rusting of any iron the best way is to paint the nail.
What will happen to a rusty nail when its put into coke or other substance?
the nail will rust in water or any other substance that it is in by a chemical reaction
Does aluminum rust in coke or tap water?
aluminum doesnt rust. it oxidises so needs oxygen from any source
Will varying temperatures affect the amount of rust on a penny nail needle and paper clip when submerged in different liquid environments?
Yes varying temperatures will affect any metal object , when submerged in different liquid environments due to their desaciendoment. Sincerely famous scientist: LVFP and DGCB
What liquid will cause a penny a nail paper cilp to rust?
any liquid that had hydrogen, oxygen and is moist (of course it will be moist) to rust it need all the materials above can make pennies rust remember rusting only applies to iron items. to preserve pennies you can store them in oil

Why does not an iron nail rust in calcium chloride?
CaCl is extremely hygroscopic (water-attracting), so it will take up any moisture and keep the iron nail dry. Two conditions for rusting are oxygen and water.
