Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air. When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.

How does a rusty nail weigh more than an original one?
A rusty nail may weigh more than a new one due to the oxidation process. Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen, adding mass to the nail. The rust layer can make the nail heavier than when it was in its original form.
Why does the rusty nail weigh more than the original nail?
The rust that forms on the nail is actually iron oxide, which has a greater molecular weight than iron. This additional weight from the rust causes the rusty nail to weigh more than the original nail.

How do you use law of conservation of mass to explain why a rusty nail weighs maore than a original nail?
It weighs more because the iron reacts with oxygen in the air to form oxides which are solids which appear to grow on the iron as more oxygen comes along. I wouldn't call it conservation of mass except in the sense that no mass is destroyed or created, but that alone doesn't explain the chemical reaction.
