It is moisture and air that causes metal to rust, therefore if something is air tight and doesn't get much air it can't easily rust.

Does iron take the shape of it's container?

When molten or gaseous, yes.


Why does a potato cook faster when an iron rod is placed through it?

Iron conducts heat better than other metals so it heats up the potato faster.


Why does sound travel faster though iron than through air?

Sound travels faster through iron than through air because iron is a denser medium with particles packed closely together. This allows sound waves to propagate more efficiently through the material compared to the less dense and more spread out particles in air. In iron, the vibration of particles is quickly passed along due to the tight molecular structure, resulting in a faster speed of sound.


What happes when you put hydrochloric acid in a iron container?

When hydrochloric acid is put into an iron container, it reacts with the iron to form iron(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. This reaction can cause the iron container to corrode or degrade over time due to the chemical reaction occurring between the acid and the metal.


Will iron nails inside a steel container filled with oil be attracted to a magnet which is outside the steel container?

No, the iron nails inside the steel container will not be attracted to a magnet outside the container because the steel container will shield the nails from the magnetic field. Steel is not magnetic, so it will not affect the iron nails inside the container.

There are 10 grams of iron in a sealed container with moist air The sealed container with iron and moist air weighs a total 15 grams what is true after the iron rusts?

After the iron rusts, it will combine with oxygen from the air to form iron oxide. Since the total weight of the sealed container after the iron rusts is still 15 grams, the added weight will be the mass of the oxygen atoms that combined with the iron to form iron oxide.


A piece of iron is placed in hydrochloric acid what are the products?

When a piece of iron is placed in hydrochloric acid, the products are Iron (II) chloride and hydrogen gas.


What rusts faster?

Why is rusting of iron faster in rainy days?

rusting of iron is faster in rainy days because water is responsible for the rusting of iron i.e the presence of oxygen


Does iron heat faster than glass?

Iron typically heats up faster than glass because iron has higher thermal conductivity. This means that heat transfers more quickly through iron than through glass, allowing iron to reach higher temperatures faster. Glass, on the other hand, has lower thermal conductivity and heats up more slowly.
