Oxygen. It goes rusty because oxygen is a poison. Oxygen also makes butter go rancid. Animals have got used to this poison.
Iron needs oxygen and water to rust. When iron is exposed to air and moisture, a chemical reaction occurs, forming iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the metal. This process is accelerated in the presence of salt or acids.
No, a rusty iron nail is not a homogeneous mixture. It is a chemical compound made up of iron and oxygen that has undergone oxidation, causing it to form rust.
A rusty nail is typically made of iron or steel that has been exposed to moisture, leading to oxidation and the formation of rust on its surface. The rust is a reddish-brown iron oxide that forms when iron or steel reacts with oxygen and water.
most common metals tarnish slowly in exposure to air. metals that tarnish quickly in exposure to air are for example: lithium, sodium and potassium Gold is one of the slowest to tarnish.
Iron rusts when it comes into contact with oxygen and water. The presence of these two elements, along with iron, is necessary for rust to form.
Yes it does
Yes, as long as oxygen is present aswell, iron will rust.
The reaction with oxygen
Iron needs oxygen and water to rust. When iron is exposed to air and moisture, a chemical reaction occurs, forming iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the metal. This process is accelerated in the presence of salt or acids.
no, rust is not a disease, rust is a chemical reaction that occurs when iron reacts with water and air
Steel or iron goes rusty in water.
Only one metal can rust, so the question refers to iron.
leave it in the rain or get it wet and let it rust. it is the same with all iron or medal.
If they have iron oxide on them.
They are made out of iron
Only those coins made from iron or an iron alloy, and that are rusty.
