Rust is characteristic for iron and alloys (metals), not for a salt as limestone.
The acid in the drink makes the nail rust. The nail would rust if you put it in any liquid, but acid makes it rust faster.
The ability to rust would be a chemical property.
Rust is a chemical compound, essentially an iron oxide.
it would have to be salt water or vinegar or both to rust a steel nail
No- if it did, water would wash away rust (rust is iron oxide)
only iron can rust. others 'corrode'. I don't think limestone rusts but it does react with acid rain. -------------------------------------- No limestone (calcium carbonate) can not rust. Hwever it can be stained by rust.
No, the Sphinx is carved from limestone. Iron rusts, limestone doesn't rust. But its limestone is damaged, both by weathering and deliberate acts of man.
Iron oxide can cause yellow to rust colored staining in limestone.
Rust has an important contribution in the destruction of metallic components and structures in all fields of technology. Serious rust damage can effect the integrity of the chassis and body strength.
Scrape then repaint
If the rust is only on the outside of the microwave you can wipe it down with a cleaning agent for rust. If it is on the inside mechanics, you can not remove it without damage.
The best product to remove rust is limeaway. That stuff will remove anything staining including rust. It will not damage the actual item that was rusted. Only the rust will be removed.
rashes,rust,and building damage.
I have no idea about rusting, but am alarmed about the question - leaving them in water for an hour should not, repeat not be an option as it would completely destroy a wood clarinet. It would do absolutely nothing but damage the cork and pads of a plastic clarinet. Rust would be the least of your problems.
Doubtful. Most homeowners policies do not cover rust, mold, deterioration etc. over a period of time.
The colours of limestones vary depending on their chemical composition. An iron content to limestone can give a tinge of iron oxide (rust) colour. The exact chemical composition will depend on the origin and geological process resulting that stone.
First, you cannot fix the damage already done but you can repair and stop the rust from doing more damage. Take a fine sandpaper or a wire wheel or steel wool and remove all the rust from the gun. After the rust is removed, reblue the gun with a solution made just for this. Ask any gunshop for the solution you need. If the damage is to the point to make the gun unsafe to use as in holes in the barrel or in the firing mechanisms, you may need to replace the effected parts.
