When iron rusts, it combines with oxygen to form iron oxide (rust). You now have the original mass of iron PLUS the mass of the combined oxygen.

Why is the mass of a rusted nail greater than the mass of the nail before it rusted?
oxygen atoms are added to iron atoms to form a molcule with a combined mass of iron and oxygen
Compare the mass of iron and oxygen before the reaction with the mass of rust resulting from the reaction?
The mass of iron plus the mass of oxygen used in the reaction is equal to the mass of rust formed after the reaction.Iron, Fe Relative Atomic Mass = 55.85 g/molOxygen, O Ar = 16.00 g/molRust, Fe2O3 Relative Molar Mass = 2 x 55.85 + 3 x 16.00Mr = 159.7 g/molPercentage of iron by mass = (2 x 55.85)/ 159.7 x 100= 69.94%Percentage oxygen by mass in rust = 30.06%a
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
How many subatomic particles are there in iodine?
It would depend on how much iodine is present. The greater the mass the more particles there would be
Does oxygen have a greater mass than neon?
No
Why is mass of a rusted nail would be greater than the mass of a rusted nail before it rusted.?
it is very simple actually because believe it or not rust has its own mass and after the nail rusts its mass increases
Explain why the mass of a rusted nail would be greater than the mass of the nail before it rusted Assume that all the rust is still attatched to the nail?
Rust is a compound of iron and oxygen. Therefore the mass is greater because oxygen has been added.
Why is the mass of a rusted nail greater than the mass of the nail before it rusted?
oxygen atoms are added to iron atoms to form a molcule with a combined mass of iron and oxygen
What type of reaction occurres when iron has rusted and how does the mass of the object after rusting compare with its original mass?
The mass would be greater

During what season would you expect mass movements to be a greater threat?
A wet spring before vegetation is growing.
How would a loss of mass affect a planet's gravity?
The greater the mass, the greater the force of gravity.
Which has more mass a rusted bolt or a non rusted bolt?
Left intact the rusted bolt because it has the added mass of the Oxygen. Once cleaned up it will be lighter because it has lost mass in the form of iron atoms in the Iron Oxide molecules.
Would your weight be greater if earth gained mass?
Yes your weight would be greater.
Which is harder to stop vehicle greater mass or less mass?
The greater the mass the greater the inertia. Thus if both vehicles were travelling at the same speed the vehicle with the greater mass would have the most inertia and thus be the hardest to stop.
Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
Why do objects with more have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
