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.

Does a nickel rust faster in cold water or hot water?

A nickel would rust faster in hot water compared to cold water because the higher temperature accelerates the chemical reactions involved in the rusting process. Warm environments generally promote faster oxidation and corrosion of metals.

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.

Why does tap water rust faster than salt water?

It doesnt. salt water usually rusts metals faster because of the mixture of salt, water and oxygen that rusts the metal, but tap water has less oxygen and no salt.


Does bronze rust faster in salt water or fresh water?

Bronze will typically rust faster in salt water due to the higher presence of ions that accelerate the oxidation process compared to fresh water. Salt water contains more dissolved ions, such as sodium and chloride, which can enhance the corrosion of metals like bronze.
