Why is stainless steel better than iron for water gate?
Stainless steel is rust resistant; iron rusts easily. A stainless steel water gate will last longer than an iron one.
What type of metal rusts the slowest?
I don't think steel rusts.iron rusts but steel will not rust. copper also does not rust.Steel ruststeel also rust in some conditionsAll steels and low-alloy steels rust in moist atmospheres. In some circumstances, the addition of 0.3% copper to carbon steel can reduce the rate of rusting by one quarter or even by one half.
What is the oxidizing agent when iron rusts?
Rust forms... i think. check in your science book. it's in the sixth grade science book, too. If my answer is correct, rust is a reddish dust that can eat through metal. it can also turn rocks into a crumbly, unstable rock. Rust is found on Mars, and rust is why Mars is red.
What type of liquid does metal rust the fastest in?
Water with oxygen (air). However, only one metal 'rusts' . It is IRON and forms iron oxide (rust). Other metals do NOT rust. They form 'oxides.
What atoms make up rust?
ummmmm....... you really cant figure this one out. think about it what rusts? iron. so therefore rust must be some combination of iron and another material. in this case oxygen. so your formula would be Fe3O2 should be Fe2O3; ferric oxide.
What are some ways a nail can undergo a chemical change?
The most obvious one is when it rusts. Rust is the oxidization of iron.
Is metal rusts is it still a metal?
There is only one metal that rusts and that is iron and its alloys such as steel. All other metals corrode. No, iron is not iron after it rusts. It is now called iron oxide and will disintegrate if left unchecked . That is why we paint our gates with Blackstar Rust Converter and most electronics are coated with gold or a green varnish to prevent reaction with the air.

What happens if you bring two iron nails close to each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to or touching each other?
Like poles will repel.Unlike poles will attract.
What happens if you bring two iron nails close to( or touching)each other?
Unless one or both iron nails are magnetized, then nothing will happen. If one nail is magnetized, then the other nail will be attracted to the magnetized nail.

What was the purpose of inserting a piece of copper and an iron nail into the fruits and vegetables when having a prac?
An iron nail distributes the iron into the apple, thus an apple with pure organic iron! Where is our answer? I do not see one here~ Linda

Why did the iron nail attract the pin?
Presumably, one of them, or both, were magnetic.
When iron rusts is it the result of a physical change?
The process is called oxidation. And it's not a physical reaction it's a chemical one.
