Yes, an iron nail can still rust in distilled water because distilled water can still contain oxygen and other impurities that facilitate the rusting process of iron. Rusting requires the presence of both oxygen and water to occur.
Yes, rusting of iron nail can occur in distilled water because although distilled water has low levels of dissolved ions that can accelerate the rusting process, it still contains small amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air which can react with iron to form rust over time.
If both t etap water and the distilled water are open to the air and both have dissolved oxygen then the iron nail will rust faster in tap water. Rusting requires dissolved oxygen and goes faster if there are dissolved salts.
An iron nail will rust faster in saltwater than in tap water. This is because saltwater is conductive and accelerates the rusting process by promoting the flow of electrons between the iron nail and oxygen in the water.
Iron must be in contact with oxygen, water (and dissolved ions) to rust. So if it was in boiled water there would be no oxygen present and as long as no oxygen was allowed to dissolve back into the water, for example if a layer of oil was on top of the water, then the iron nail would not rust.
The tip of an iron nail is usually the first part to rust because it comes into contact with moisture and oxygen more easily than the rest of the nail. Rusting occurs when the iron in the nail reacts with oxygen in the presence of water or moisture.
Yes, rust happens to iron nail though it is kept in distilled water.
Yes, rusting of iron nail can occur in distilled water because although distilled water has low levels of dissolved ions that can accelerate the rusting process, it still contains small amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air which can react with iron to form rust over time.
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
it would rust
If both t etap water and the distilled water are open to the air and both have dissolved oxygen then the iron nail will rust faster in tap water. Rusting requires dissolved oxygen and goes faster if there are dissolved salts.
In a sealed jar of distilled water, a nail would not corrode or rust because there are no impurities present in the water to facilitate the oxidation process. Rusting occurs due to the presence of oxygen, moisture, and impurities, which are all absent in distilled water.
Distilled water will rust a nail faster as distilled water contains higher levels of OXYGEN which is what causes OXIDATION or commonly referred to as rust...
The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
The nail sinks in water because the gravitational force attracts it downward toward the earth, there is an upthrust of water on the nail which pushes it upwards but, the downward force acting on the nail is greater that the upward force. Hence, the nail sinks in water. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks. The cork floats while nail sinks this happens because of the difference in their densities. The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume. The density of the cork is less than the density of water. This mean the upthrust of the cork is greater than the weight of the cork. The density of the iron nail is more than that of the water, this means that the upthrust of water on the iron nail is less than the weight of the nail, so it sinks.
Because iron is rusting.
Salt water.
The iron nail would stick to a magnet. Copper is not attracted to magnets.
