Were a nail dipped into liquid iron (II) oxide it would instantly gain a coating of rust. Apart from that, liquids with more oxygen, salt, or sometimes very little acid can speed up the process because rust is iron oxide that is formed from dissolved oxygen and the iron in the nail and salt is a better conducter than oxygen and so help strip off the electrons off the nail and acid can help tear down iron faster. That enough? =D
