Does copper or iron corrode faster and why?
Iron generally corrodes faster because the oxide layer (rust) does not seal the metal's surface from oxygen like the corrosion on copper does.
Does dirty copper become clean in distilled water?
the dirty copper is actually the copper oxidizing, or rusting. Putting the copper in distilled water wont remove that rust.
Does water affect pennies?
As pennies are not made of iron, they cannot rust under any circumstances.However they can corrode. The copper shell will produce a green corrosion product, the zinc core can corrode completely away as a transparent water soluble corrosion product. This corrosion will be very slow in plain water (much slower than iron rusts in water) but will be much faster if an acid is added to the water.
Word for copper rust?
Verdigris.
Does copper react with cold water?
Copper does not react with water, but it slowly reacts with atmospheric oxygen forming a layer of brown-black copper oxide. Unlike the iron oxidation, this oxide prevents the bulk corrosion of parent material i.e. copper.
Which water rust a coin faster salt or fresh water?
salt will rust the coin faster thanfresh water
Will coins rust faster in salt water or in fresh water?
Yes they will.
Why do coins rust faster in salt water than fresh water?
Modern coins cannot rust, as they are not made of iron.
Will iron rust faster in salt water or fresh water?
Iron will rust more quickly in salt water than fresh freshwater. The salt in the water accelerates the corrosion process.
Does 20 gauge galvannealed steel rust faster in salt water or fresh water?
Salt
Will a quarter rust faster in salt water or fresh water?
salt water cause of the salt particals in the water
Do nails rust faster in fresh water or vinegar?
A nail would probably rust faster in fresh water because rusting, also called oxidation occurs when large amounts of oxygen are forced into the metals pores, causing it to turn brittle.
Which will rust faster Cooper or silver?
copper and silver dont rust. but copper tarnishes and so does silver. but copper will tarnish faster than silver. also, learn to spell please.
What coin will rust faster in salt water?
A penny will rust faster because it made entirely of zinc with a thin outer coating of copper, and zinc is made to rust unlike nickel which is used to make nickels, dimes, etc...
Will a coin rust in fresh water?
It depends on the coin, however most will not as generally most coins do not contain iron (or steel). coins made from copper or tin will not rust ever.
Why do copper pipes carrying hot water rust more quicker?
Copper doesn't rust
What kind of water will make a metal nail rust faster tap salt sweet rain or fresh water?
i think it's none the answer is salt water
