Only on metals that will react with water to form a new substance, most commonly known as oxidization. Some examples are Iron, Neodymium, non-stainless steel (contains iron), and even titanium. The reason that titanium is so shiny is because the outer layer that you can see has combined with oxygen in the air to form titanium oxide. Iron oxide, more commonly known as rust, is the most well known form of oxidization. The new compound that is formed by oxygen bonding to iron is reddish-brown, not shiny at all (low luster), and much, much weaker than pure iron. That is why iron is often coated with or combined with an anti rusting agent, such as bismuth. Bismuth either does not rust, or rusts verrrrrrrryyyyyy sssssllloooowwwwlllllyyyyy, and is therefore a used to prevent iron from rusting and weakening. Since H2O contains oxygen, then it will most definitly cause rust. In fact, it causes rusting even faster than oxygen in the air, as the oxygen in the water is constantly surrounding the rusting metal, as opposed to in the air where 79% of gas is Nitrogen and only 20% is oxygen. Also, the water may push the rust off, exposing more not yet oxidized metal underneath.

Does calcium hydroxide cause rust?
No. Calcium Hydroxide does not cause rust, however it can cause corrosion due to its high pH.
Will Windex cause rust?
Yes, Windex will cause rust slowly after time. If in a container it will turn a dark green color.
Will peroxide remove rust?
No, peroxides are strong oxidizers and will actually cause rust.
How does different liquids affect rust?
It doesn't only oxygen and iron can make rust. The only reason water make rust is because of the massive concentration of the oxygen. Here is the chemical formula. H2O. H is hydrogen and O is oxygen.
Why does heat cause metal to rust faster?
rust is a chemical change it happens when weather is changing. rust jhappens when oxygen and water hit it
What will make a nail rust the quickest water vinegar salt water milk oil?
A nail is made of Fe. Rust is FeO. Water is H2O. Fe + H2O ---> FeO + 2 H
Why rust makes things crumble?
2Fe2O3 + 3H2O > FeOOH. H2O
What ingredient in orange juice makes a nail rust?
The water (H2O) in it.
Do car magnets cause rust?
Car magnets doesn't cause rust.
What area of science does rust pertain to?
The question is a little vague, but rust could be categorised under chemistry as rust is a chemical reaction between oxygen (O2) and water (H2O)
Does hydrogen cause rust?
no, oxygen causes rust.
Does iron oxide cause rust?
Rust is caused when oxygen reacts with iron.Iron oxide does not cause rust, it is rust.
Does calcium hydroxide cause rust?
No. Calcium Hydroxide does not cause rust, however it can cause corrosion due to its high pH.
What is the difference between rust resistant and rust proof?
Something that is rust resistant will not rust easily; minor exposure to water will not cause it to rust. Something that is rust proof will not rust.
What household chemicals cause steel wool to rust?
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.
Does vegetable oil cause rust?
Vegetable oil does not cause rust. It is slightly acidic, its similar to a lubricant and it can prevent rust.
Why do exhaust pipes rust?
When you burn fuel and air in an engine the products contain A mixture of CO2, H2O and N2. H2O contains dissolved oxygen, which combines with the Iron (Fe) in the steel and produces the compound Fe(OH)3 , the all too familiar rust.
