What causes things to rust?

Water. Salt accelerates the process. To stop things rusting keep it dry of use paint or grease.


Does air rust iron?

Air can cause iron to rust through a process called oxidation, where oxygen reacts with iron to form iron oxide (rust). Moisture in the air accelerates this process by providing the necessary conditions for the reaction to occur.


Is rusting an irreversible cause?

Rusting is an irreversible process.


Can the process of rusting be called rusting?

Yes, it is correct.


What cause a nail to rust in soda?

The acidity of the soda accelerates the process, but the nail would rust in a glass of pure water as well. Rust is caused by oxygen in the air, but various other chemicals can catalyse that process.


Is iron rusting in a charge of chemical?

No, iron rusting is oxidation process


What are the effects of stress on rusting of iron?

Stress in iron (and generally in metals and alloys) facilitates and accelerates rusting.See the links below.


Does a nail rust faster when the air is damp or dry?

A nail will rust faster in damp air because moisture accelerates the corrosion process by providing the water and oxygen needed for rusting to occur. Dry air slows down the rusting process by limiting the availability of water and oxygen.


What is the process rusting called?

Oxidation


How tin cans coating prevent the iron from rusting when the coating is ruptured the rusting process usually occurs even faster than it would on uncoated iron why?

The iron used in production of tins are "low" quality. Usually when tinboxes are rusting, this mean that they are stored in a moist environment. Moisture drastically speeds up the oxidationprocess of Iron. Tinned boxes will not rust from inside and out as such because there is no free oxygen in there. Regards.


What elements undergoes rusting?

Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.


Do iron objects close to the sea rust faster than those further inland?

Yes, iron objects close to the sea can rust faster due to the higher presence of moisture and salt in the air, which accelerates the oxidation process. The salt in the air can also act as an electrolyte, enhancing the rusting process.
