A bleach is a chemical that removes color or whitens, often via oxidation. Common chemical bleaches include household "chlorine bleach", a solution of approximately 3-6% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).
"Rusting", is an oxidization process.
To indicate the easiness or hardness of the oxidation/reduction process, people use so-called "Standard Reduction Potentials", to show how it is. The more negative the number is, the easier it is to be oxidized and the harder it is to be reduced (back to metal). Vice versa, the more positive the number is, the harder it is to be oxidized and the easier it is to be reduced.
For non-metal element, we also can assign the standard reduction potential such as:
2HClO(aq) + 2H+ + 2e− → Cl2(g) + 2H2O, +1.63V
Cl2(g) + 2e− → 2Cl−(aq) +1.36V
2H+(aq) + 2e− → H2(g), 0.00V
This indicate that bleach (+1.63V) is easy to be reduced, thus it would grab the electrons from something else. That is to say, it is a strong oxidizer to cause other metals to be oxidized. Even Cl2 formed as product still serves as a strong oxidizer (+1.36V). On the other hand, water, containing small amount of H+, is extremely weak oxidizer (with reduction potential of 0.00V).
what is the effect of bleach on hardend blade steel?
If there is a change in composition between the screw and the pan, this can cause an electrolytic rusting to happen.
If it is mold, then yes, you could. The green is oxidation, the same as rust on steel and bleach won't do much of anything to remove it. It will not really hurt anything.
it would have to be salt water or vinegar or both to rust a steel nail
It will rust very fast

Stainless Steel and PoolsEventually, yes, stainless steel will rust if left in a pool. *Yes - bleach will cause stainless steel to rust and chlorine is found in pools. Ergo, pool water will cause rust on stainless steel items.
steel cap screws are used where there is danger of rust because steel cap screw are resistant to corrosion because they form a tough oxide layer when exposed to oxygen. the strength of stainless steel is very good
Bleach or chlorox bleach will help cause rust. Vinegar can also help cause rust. If you combine both it rust even quicker. Vinegar is also said to also be a cleaning agent for rust. It will be fun for you to do an experiment to verify both theories.
Bleach works by oxidizing the stain it's treating. "Oxidize" means it removes an electron from it, so the bleach removes an electron from the stain. Rust is also formed by oxidation, the removal of an electron from a metal. So if bleach can remove an electron from a laundry stain, it can also remove one from a metal.
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
No, but it will pull the rust of a screw.
steel - due to the presence of iron in it. others will oxidise, not rust.

Steel does not rust by normal corrosion agents.
True stainless steel will not rust.
