The iron will not react unless you react it with calcium chloride. This is because Chloride is very electronegative (it has a high affinity for electrons) Both iron and calcium are not very electronegative and would like to give away their electrons. The Chloride ion accepts these electrons to get a full valent shell.

How can you melt a galvanized nail?

well galvanized metal is nothing more than zinc coated steel. Zinc melts at 787.1 F and steel melts at roughly 1200 F depending on the quality of the steel. So yes you can melt a galvanized nail.


Who invented the iron nail?

There are many records of nails in history. Not one particular person created them. Many different peoples created their own versions of nails for construction and other tasks.


What is the use of srew driver?

A screw driver is more high-tech than a regular nail driver or hammer. A screw is a more holding tool than a nail. It has metal ridges around it to hold it in place. A screwdriver is used for putting a screw in an area to fastening to objects and/or parts together


What is concrete nail?

a nail designed to penetrate concrete and hold


How do you make a powerful electromagnet with a 12 or 9 volt battery?

You need 3 main things: An iron core, a roll of insulated copper wire and your source of electricity Firstly find a suitable iron core a iron nail will do (6in 15cm) next wrap the wire (thicker is better) as neatly and tightly as you can around the iron nail. Once the iron is wrapped up tight make sure you have a piece of copper wire comin off each end one where you began the other where you finished wrapping. Now all you need to do is connect it to your battery which terminal you connect each wire will determine current flow. The power of your electromagnet will depend on the wrapping of copperbut mainly the battery and the current it puts out to great a current will heat the wire quickly but a 9 or 12v battery should be fine.

What is the chemical reaction called that is happening to the metal nail?

Most likely, the iron nail is oxidizing. The iron in the nail would then be reacting with the oxygen in the air to form rust.


What happens when an iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate solution?

The iron is more reactive than copper so when the iron nail is immersed in copper sulphate the iron takes sulphate ion from the copper sulphate and copper metal is deposited on top of the iron so that the nail will then look like a copper nail.The chemical reaction is called a replacement reaction, and is chemically represented as : CuSO4(compound in solution) + Fe(metal) ------>Cu(deposited metal) + FeSO4.


When a nail of iron is added to a solution of copper sulphateiron sulphate and copper metal are formed?

This reaction is an example of a displacement reaction, where iron displaces copper from copper sulfate solution due to its higher reactivity. The iron atoms in the nail lose electrons to form iron(II) sulfate, while the displaced copper ions gain electrons and become copper metal, which is deposited on the nail.


Why copper is deposited on iron nail when dipped in copper sulphate.?

It is an electrochemical reaction. Iron is more reactive than copper, meaning it is more easily loses electrons to form a compound. So the copper essentially "steals" electrons from the iron. Forming copper metal and iron sulfate.


What happens when iron nail is added to zinc sulphate solution?

When an iron nail is added to zinc sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs where iron displaces zinc from the solution. This results in the formation of iron sulfate solution and zinc metal deposited on the iron nail. The reaction can be represented as: Fe(s) + ZnSO4(aq) -> FeSO4(aq) + Zn(s).


What happen when an iron nail is dipped in copper sulphate solution. why does the colour changes?

The iron is a more active metal than copper, so the iron atoms in the nail replace the copper atoms in the copper sulphate solution, so it becomes iron sulfate. The copper atoms will start to build on the iron nail, as well.


What is the balanced chemical equation for and iron nail and copper sulfate?

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between an iron nail (Fe) and copper sulfate (CuSO4) is: Fe + CuSO4 -> FeSO4 + Cu This reaction involves a single displacement reaction where iron displaces copper from copper sulfate to form iron(II) sulfate and copper metal.


What metal is a nail made of?

iron


Iron nail dipped in copper sulphate solution?

When an iron nail is dipped in the solution of copper sulphate solution , after a while the solution changes into the colour of green becoming iron sulphate and a brown substance is found on the iron nail which is copper so we get to know that the displacement reaction is produced


Why does not an iron nail rust in calcium chloride?

Calcium chloride is a drying agent that absorbs moisture from its surroundings, preventing the iron nail from being exposed to water, which is needed for the rusting process to occur. In the absence of water, the iron nail is unable to undergo the chemical reaction that leads to rust formation.


Does oxygen affect nail rusting?

No, oxygen does not directly affect nail rusting because rusting specifically refers to the oxidation of iron metal. Nails are made of iron, and they rust when exposed to oxygen and water. Oxygen in the air reacts with the iron in the nail to form iron oxide, or rust.


What happens when iron nail reacts with acetic acid?

When an iron nail reacts with acetic acid (vinegar), it undergoes a chemical reaction that produces iron acetate and releases hydrogen gas. The iron acetate formed may appear as a greenish solution. This reaction is a type of single displacement reaction where the iron replaces the hydrogen in the acetic acid.
