How is the law of conservation of mass related to rust?
The metal will rust over time but the mass of the container as a whole. The law of conservation of mass is not violated.
Why doesn't rusting violate the law of conservation of mass?
Why should it violate it? Atoms are simply rearranged. No new atoms are created, no atoms are destroyed. The rust will have more mass than the original iron (or whatever metal is rusting), but that's because oxygen atoms from the atmosphere are added. Add: This does not violate the law of conservation of mass, because the mass of the rust is the combined mass of the iron and the oxygen in the atmosphere that reacted to form the rust.
Would a metal object with rust on it have a greater mass than one with out rust?
Maybe. The question is ill-defined as written. If I take a metal object of known mass, and let it rust in such a way that none of the rust crumbles and falls off the object, the rusty object will indeed have a slightly greater mass than the original object did.
Does the mass of an object change after it begins to rust?
Yes. Because of the extra oxygen, the mass may decrease. On the other hand, if the rust falls off, the mass may decrease. Of course, the total mass of the substances involved (metal + oxygen --> rust) will remain constant.
Why does a rusty nail weigh more than the original nail?
Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air. When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
Why do pipes rust?
Plastic pipe does not rust, brass does not rust, copper does not rust. Stainless steel does not rust, lead pipe does not rust.
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.
Can graphite rackets rust?
No they will not get rust they are not iron to get rust. only iron get rust.

Is rust a compound element or mixture?
Rust is a COMPOUND. rust is a element you stupid fool suk my prik
What is rust remover?
