Cornstarch itself does not cause rust, as rust is the result of iron oxidation in the presence of moisture and oxygen. However, if cornstarch is burned, it can produce ash and other residues that may retain moisture, potentially contributing to rusting on metal surfaces if they are not cleaned properly. To prevent rust, it's essential to ensure that any surfaces exposed to cornstarch residue are cleaned and dried thoroughly after use.

What gases causes iron to rust and candles to burn?

Oxygen is the gas that causes iron to rust. When iron is in contact with oxygen and water, it forms iron oxide (rust) as a result of a chemical reaction. Candles burn due to the combustion of wax, which releases carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Does the speed of an object affect the way it sinks on cornstarch?

A stationary object will sink in cornstarch. If an object has kinetic energy (is moving) it will transfer its energy to the cornstarch when it stikes it. This kinetic energy causes the cornstarch to solidify temporarily, once this energy dissipates into the material around where the object struck, the cornstarch becomes liquid again.

When iron mixes with oxygen, it causes iron oxide, commonly known as rust. Therefore it causes the rock to "rust".

Does rust burn when exposed to high temperatures?

Yes, rust can burn when exposed to high temperatures because it is a form of iron oxide that can undergo a chemical reaction known as oxidation, which releases heat and can result in combustion.
