Iron must be in contact with oxygen, water (and dissolved ions) to rust. So if it was in boiled water there would be no oxygen present and as long as no oxygen was allowed to dissolve back into the water, for example if a layer of oil was on top of the water, then the iron nail would not rust.
Boiling water can accelerate the rusting process of an iron nail because it increases the rate of oxidation. The heat in the boiling water speeds up the chemical reactions that lead to the formation of rust on the metal surface.
Yes, Iron rusts very well with water, even boiled water.
Explain how the following prevent rusting
a) freshly boiled water
b) cooking oil
Iron needs water and oxygen to rust. If water was boiled, it removes dissolved gases, including oxygen so it would not rust.
Rust forming on an iron nail is a chemical reaction rather than a mixture. Rust is a compound made up of iron oxide that results from the reaction of iron with oxygen and water in the presence of air.
An iron nail will rust faster in saltwater than in tap water. This is because saltwater is conductive and accelerates the rusting process by promoting the flow of electrons between the iron nail and oxygen in the water.
The chemical property that causes rust to form on a nail is oxidation. The iron in the nail reacts with oxygen in the presence of water or moisture to form iron oxide, which is commonly known as rust.
The gas that makes a wet iron nail rust is oxygen. When iron comes into contact with oxygen in the presence of water, it undergoes a chemical reaction called oxidation, forming iron oxide, which is the rust that we see.
Yes, an iron nail can still rust in distilled water because distilled water can still contain oxygen and other impurities that facilitate the rusting process of iron. Rusting requires the presence of both oxygen and water to occur.
It will rust a bit, but not much.
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.
Nothing will happen to iron in oil. You may be thinking of the standard rusting experiment where one of the tubes contains an iron nail in boiled water sealed with oil. The purpose of this tube is to show that iron needs oxygen to rust. The boiled water does not contain dissolved oxygen and the oil prevents more from entering from the air.
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
Water and air in combination will rapidly cause iron to rust.
A nail rusting is a chemical change. The iron in the nail reacts with water and oxygen to produce rust, a compound with the chemical formula Fe3O2.nH2O.
The Oxygen in the water reacts with the iron in the nail, making Ferrous Oxide
water and iron. Creating iron oxide aka rust.
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
I'm not so good at science but I think The Oxygen from the water (H20) oxidises the iron and makes iron oxide, which is rust.
coke will make it rust faster
It's not just saltwater that makes a nail rust, even water makes a nail rust. Rust is simply oxidation, it happens when oxygen comes into contact with something and creates a chemical reaction and creates "oxides". Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide (red rust on steel)
