How quickly does stainless steel rust?

Stainless steel is resistant to rust, but it can still rust over time if not properly maintained. The rate at which stainless steel rusts depends on factors such as the grade of stainless steel, environmental conditions, and maintenance practices. In general, stainless steel rusts at a slower rate compared to other types of steel.


Is oxygen more reactive than copper?

Yes, oxygen is more reactive than copper. Oxygen can readily react with many materials, including metals like copper, to form oxides. This is why copper often forms a tarnished or oxidized surface when exposed to air.


Is copper turning green in the air physical change?

The reason that copper turns green is the same reason the metal rusts, oxidization. Both metal and copper oxidize when exposed to oxygen and this is a natural process. Copper that is exposed to the outside environment is more likely to turn green and that is why copper vases and decorative pieces in gardens are often green. Copper is a metal that does not react with water (H2O), but the oxygen of the air will react slowly at room temperature to form a layer of brown-black copper oxide on copper metal which looks like green sometimes...


Why does hydrogen peroxide make rust orange?

Hydrogen peroxide reacts with the iron oxide (rust) on the surface of the metal, breaking it down into its chemical components. This reaction forms a hydrated iron oxide, which is typically orange in color.


Explain why you would not exspect to be able to combine magnesium and argon to produce a useful substance?

Magnesium is a very reactive substance, rusts when in contact with the moist air and produces a white flame when lit on fire. Whereas Argon is a noble gas and is very inactive. Hence, it is impossible!

Is metal still a metal after it rusts?

There is only one metal that rusts and that is iron and its alloys such as steel. All other metals corrode. No, iron is not iron after it rusts. It is now called iron oxide and will disintegrate if left unchecked . That is why we paint our gates with Blackstar Rust Converter and most electronics are coated with gold or a green varnish to prevent reaction with the air.

When a part rusts does it become Heavier or lighter in weight?

When a part rusts, it typically becomes heavier in weight because rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture, adding weight to the original material.
