im actually about to do an art project on this. ive been researching it and it says that if you apply a solution of half hydrogen peroxide half vinegar and a pinch of salt you should get a uniform thick layer of rust in about 5 min. heating the iron will make the reaction occur faster. in order to make it stay you need to apply a finish.
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
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.
This is an oxidation reaction.
any liquid that had hydrogen, oxygen and is moist (of course it will be moist) to rust it need all the materials above can make pennies rust remember rusting only applies to iron items. to preserve pennies you can store them in oil
It depends on the mass and volume of the nail (D=M/V). I tested one and my results were: Mass: 6.92 g. Volume: 0.88 cm3. Density: 7.86
water and iron. Creating iron oxide aka rust.
Sea water can rust nails or other metals.
The iron nail would rust the fastest, as its surface area is relatively larger compared to the other forms of iron listed. This allows more exposure to oxygen and moisture, which are essential for the rusting process to occur.
i think vinegar will make a nail rust faster because vinegar will makes the mental with iron in them.
The salt in the water will speed up the iron nail because the chemicals in the salt water on the nail creates faded substances
coke will make it rust faster
It's not just saltwater that makes a nail rust, even water makes a nail rust. Rust is simply oxidation, it happens when oxygen comes into contact with something and creates a chemical reaction and creates "oxides". Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide (red rust on steel)
They combine to form rust. You might be able to guess from what's combining that "rust" is apparently an iron oxide.
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
air
Rust is iron oxide, a molecule consisting of iron and oxygen. The mass of the iron in the rust molecules comes from the original nail, but the mass of the oxygen has come from the air. When rust forms on iron, the mass of the iron object is increased by the mass of the oxygen that has combined with some of the iron.
