More salt in water does make make metal rust faster. This has to do with the way the electrons move through the water. They are able to move faster in salt water than they are in plain water.

What water will rust fastest salty water or cold water?

Salty water will rust metal the fastest because the presence of salt increases the rate of oxidation, which leads to rust formation. Cold water alone does not promote rusting, but when combined with salt, the process is accelerated.


Would a nail rust faster in salt water or tap water?

First of all Nails in salt water rust quicker. That's because salt is sodium chloride and that affects a nail by rusting it.No i did a experiment on which one rust faster. After 5 days the nail in the tap water rusted way faster than the nail in the salt water. With DISTILLED water, the nail will not rust as fast as the salt. TAP water will rust faster then salt.


Which liquid will rust a penny faster vinigar or salt water?

Salt water will rust a penny faster than vinegar because salt water is an electrolyte that enhances the electrical conductivity, accelerating the oxidation process on the surface of the penny.


What two things is needed to make iron rust?

Answer 1: Salt and water especially if they are both present.Answer 2: Wrong. Water yes, but also oxygen, salt speeds up the reaction:Oxygen present in water and salt causes corrosion. Salt is hygroscopic in nature and it attracts the water. Water is required for corrosion and salt speeds up the process.


What happens to the weight of an iron nail after 3 days in salt water?

The weight of an iron nail may increase slightly after 3 days in salt water due to the absorption of some water and formation of rust on its surface, which adds weight. Additionally, the salt in the water can also contribute to the corrosion process.

When putting iron nails into sugar salt or tap water which water would rust the nail quicker?

It will rust faster in a salt water base and it will also rust faster in a tap water base not a sugary or a pop type, they have a slower fashion of rusting.


Will objects rust more quickly in salt water or plain water without salt?

Salt Water, in short, rusting is the process of forming iron oxide. In short the salt water is more conductive, thus creating a better electrolyte allowing the rust process to occur quicker.
