acid
Yes, it is true; the ion chloride is corrosive.
A nickel would rust faster in hot water compared to cold water because the higher temperature accelerates the chemical reactions involved in the rusting process. Warm environments generally promote faster oxidation and corrosion of metals.
A nail would probably rust faster in fresh water because rusting, also called oxidation occurs when large amounts of oxygen are forced into the metals pores, causing it to turn brittle.
salt will rust the coin faster thanfresh water
Rust is formed in metals when it exposed to oxygen and moisture in air and in the presence of acid.
Metals of medium reactivity can react well with acids, water, and oxygen. They tend to corrode or rust when exposed to oxygen in the atmosphere, react with acids to produce hydrogen gas, and can displace less reactive metals from their compounds in aqueous solutions.
It doesnt. salt water usually rusts metals faster because of the mixture of salt, water and oxygen that rusts the metal, but tap water has less oxygen and no salt.
It causes the matals to rust faster.
1 Hydrogen molecule peri oxide (pair of oxygen) 2 oxygen molecules Water is 2 hydrogenand 1 oxygen so rust forms slower. Acids even make faster rust if combined with water.
Bronze will typically rust faster in salt water due to the higher presence of ions that accelerate the oxidation process compared to fresh water. Salt water contains more dissolved ions, such as sodium and chloride, which can enhance the corrosion of metals like bronze.
Most likely salt water. The salt accelerates the rate of corrosion, plus it has the oxygen needed for the metal to rust. Tap water has the oxygen too but with the salt also, it would cause the metal to rust more rapidly.
A nail will rust faster in wet soil than water, but if the soil is not wet , the nail will rust faster in water. I hope this answers your question. Bye, Annette Pfohl
