Yes. Whether the water is fresh or salty, it still has oxygen in it and the metal will oxidize over time. If the metal is Gold, plutonium or titanium it wont rust because these metals dont oxidize. If you place metal (iron) in oil, it wont rust.

∙ 12y agoNo, metal will not rust in vaccum water because the process of rusting requires the presence of oxygen and water.But in this case only water is present and since this water contains no air(nor does it contain oxygen) rusting will not take place.
Water in a vacuum will become a gas. Then the vacuum is not a vacuum unless 0 mmHg is re-obtained. Then, no... no rust because there are no reactants in the latter case.

∙ 11y agoYes, metal can "rust" without water. Rust is a form of oxidation, and all that is necessary for oxidation to occur is the presence of oxygen. Without water, however, the process of oxidation is vastly slower.

∙ 13y agoiron will rust under water due to the oxygen dissovled in the water
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes. It is the bounding of oxygen with the metal that causes oxidation.

What water will rust the fastest cold or hot water?
warm water will rust metal faster
Does saltwater make metal rust faster than unsalted water?
Salt water does make nails rust faster than non-salted water, because when salt is added to water, it will rust the top layer of the nail, and then make the nail basically shed its top layer. Then the salt will rust that layer, and this process continues until the whole nail is rusted. Normal water can only really rust the top layer, and can't get to the rest of the nail.
Does tap water or salt water cause metals to rust faster and why?
Most likely salt water. The salt accelerates the rate of corrosion, plus it has the oxygen needed for the metal to rust. Tap water has the oxygen too but with the salt also, it would cause the metal to rust more rapidly.
What causes OJ to rust a nail?
Rust occurs when a metal oxidizes. The ingredients needed to make a metal rust is oxygen and breaking compounds such as the citric acid in orange juice or salty water in oceans.
What is salt water corrosion?
Is the breaking down of electron in a metal due to chemical reaction which passes quicker through the salt to get to the metal
What water will rust the fastest cold or hot water?
warm water will rust metal faster
Why does heat cause metal to rust faster?
rust is a chemical change it happens when weather is changing. rust jhappens when oxygen and water hit it
What are action of water on metals?
well hot liquids heat metal and cold liquids cool metal this answer is stupid change me
What cause a nail to rust in water?
The oxygen in the water reacts with the metal in the nail - forming metal oxide (rust)
What metal rust in water?
Yes, it does.
Why is corrugated metal good for chickens?
To avoid rusting. Corrugated metals don't rust, no matter the amount of heat and water on it.
Does a nickel rust faster in cold water or hot water?
its cold water
Do nails rust in the cold?
I dont think nails rust in the cold but if and type of precipitation gets to it then yes it will rust.
Does iron react in cold water?
Iron will slowly rust in cold water.
How can you turn metal into rust?
Firstly, put metal into water. When these two chemicals engage, the watery metal get's exposed to oxygin which produces rust. So all you need for this is metal and water!
Hot water pipe or cold water pipe which will rust first?
Hot water pipe rust first as compared to the cold water pipe for the same chemical composition of the water.
Is rust eating a hole in a metal bucket a nonliving or living?
Rust is non-living. Rust is caused by water and air causing metal to corrode,
