No - the drying agent prevents the corrosion (rusting) of iron because the agent absorbs all the moisture and none if it will react with the iron nail thus no rust is made.
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.

Metallic bonding is exhibited in an iron nail.
The wooden stool is heavier than the iron nail
The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.
Because the Iron in the nail is no longer just iron but oxidation plus iron, a physical change to the nail would be to cut it in-half.
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.
Most likely, the iron nail is oxidizing. The iron in the nail would then be reacting with the oxygen in the air to form rust.
Iron is a compound iron nail is a iron ore which means that the iron nail is a mixture of metals such as copper and zinc added to make the nail stronger.

It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5

if a nail has any iron in it, it will be attacted to a magnet. Most nails are made of steel, a substance created from iron.
Minerals are pure elements. While iron by itself is an element, an iron nail would be made up of iron and various additives, thus making it not a pure mineral.
