Liquids do not rust, iron does, rust is Hydrated Iron (III) oxide, so the only substance which can rust iron is water

Does acidic liquids or basic liquids rust a paper clip faster?

Acidic liquids tend to rust a paper clip faster than basic liquids. Acidic solutions, such as vinegar or lemon juice, can accelerate the corrosion process by increasing the rate of oxidation of the metal in the paper clip. Basic liquids, on the other hand, are less corrosive and are less likely to cause rusting in a paper clip.


Why does liquids make pennies rust?

pennies don't rust!


How can vinegar rust a paper clip faster than any other liquids?

Vinegar contains acetic acid, which reacts with the iron in the paper clip to accelerate the rusting process. The acid in the vinegar speeds up the oxidation of the iron, leading to faster rust formation compared to other liquids.


Can basic liquids rust iron?

yes


Do copper pennies rust in soda or vinegar faster?

Copper pennies will tarnish in both soda and vinegar due to the acidic nature of these liquids. However, they may tarnish faster in vinegar since it is a stronger acid compared to soda. Ultimately, the rate of tarnishing will depend on the concentration of the acid and the duration of exposure.


Will a thinner object rust faster than a thicker object?

It'll rust away faster, but (assuming they're made from the same alloy) won't start to rust faster.


How does pH's of different liquids effect metal nails?

The pH of different liquids can affect metal nails by causing them to corrode or rust at a faster or slower rate. Low pH liquids (acidic) can accelerate corrosion of metal nails, while high pH liquids (alkaline) may have a protective effect or inhibit corrosion. The severity of the effect will depend on the specific pH level and chemical composition of the liquid.
