When a nail rust iron from the nail combines with oxygen from the air to form what?
They combine to form rust. You might be able to guess from what's combining that "rust" is apparently an iron oxide.
What is the new product of a rusting nail?
When the iron in a nail combines with oxygen it forms iron oxide. We call this rust.
What will make a nail rust faster?
A nail made out of just iron will rust really fast if it is exposed to oxygen. Nails available now, are galvanized nail which has a coating of copper metal on the surface of iron nail. This slows down process of rusting. Exposing a iron nail to water and other acidic environment along with oxygen, can make a nail rust pretty fast.
Would an iron nail rust if it was in drying agent?
No - the drying agent prevents the corrosion (rusting) of iron because the agent absorbs all the moisture and none if it will react with the iron nail thus no rust is made.
What type of gas makes a wet iron nail rust?
teehee
Why does an iron nail rust?
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
What happens to nail after heating?
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
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.
Will 7up rust a nail?
Well I did and experiment for 30 days with 7up and an iron nail and it did not rust.

Can a nail rust?
it can rust it reacts with atmosphere and reacts with iron oxide then it get rusted
A chemical property of an iron nail ability?
rust

How fast a nail will rust by water?
This really depends on the concentration of impurities in water. More the impurities, faster it will rust the iron nail. To reduce rusting of any iron the best way is to paint the nail.
Why does saltwater make a nail rust?
It's not just saltwater that makes a nail rust, even water makes a nail rust. Rust is simply oxidation, it happens when oxygen comes into contact with something and creates a chemical reaction and creates "oxides". Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide (red rust on steel)
