yes, some metals will rust in various ways and at different speeds. However only metals with iron in them will rust. Other metals will either oxidize or just remain the same.

So the answer is partly yes, partly no. It depends what metal specifically.

What metals are most affected and least affected by metal corrosion What causes metal corrosion Hows is metal corrosion caused by water and how is it related to it?

Iron and steel are most affected by corrosion, while metals like gold and platinum are least affected. Metal corrosion is caused by the reaction of metals with oxygen and water, leading to the formation of oxides or salts on the metal surface. In the presence of water, the metal corrodes much faster as water facilitates the transfer of electrons between the metal and oxygen, accelerating the oxidation process.

Does sugar effect evaporation?

Sugar can affect evaporation, as when dissolved in water, is affected by the hydrogen bonding between the water molecules. As it binds a few molecules tighter together in the sugar solution, it may affect evaporation, hindering it very very slightly.


How will the mixture be affected by stirring the water by breaking apart the sugar cubes or by raising the temperatureSugar cubes are placed in water?

Stirring the water will help break apart the sugar cubes, increasing their surface area and allowing them to dissolve more quickly in the water. Raising the temperature of the water will also enhance the dissolution process, as warmer water can hold more sugar and increases molecular motion, leading to faster interactions between sugar and water molecules. Both actions will result in a more uniform mixture of sugar in the water.


What does hot water above 140 do to sanitary drain?

It will not hurt it. Neither PVC or metal is not going to be affected by even boiling water for a short time.


Does sugar water boil at 100 degrees Celsius?

No, sugar water does not boil at exactly 100 degrees Celsius. The boiling point of a liquid can be affected by dissolved substances, such as sugar, which can raise the boiling point above 100 degrees Celsius.


If a student was transferring metal to a calorimeter and water splashes out will it affect the specific heat of the metal?

No, water splashing out of the calorimeter will not affect the specific heat of the metal. The specific heat of a substance is an intrinsic property that remains constant regardless of the environment.


What factors speed rusting and which factors don't?

OK rust is affected by the climate and the water that it is in. salt water is able to corrode the metal and then pond water is next.. so good luck


Is sugar a solute or solvent solution?

Sugar water is a solution in which sugar is the solute and water is the solvent. The water dissolves the sugar.


Sugar is a metal?

No, sugar is not a metal. Sugar is a carbohydrate compound made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Metals are elements that are typically shiny, malleable, and good conductors of heat and electricity.
