Nope,believe it or not they actually make iron beams/steel for bridges that is made to form a protective coating of rust to prevent the iron/steel from corroding/oxidizing away over time.then they have a primer paint that is made to etch into the rust coating bonding to it.this is all i know.so it depends on if you mean pure iron/steel or alloys.or the treatment of the iron when it is made

Does iron nail rust faster in salt water or fresh water?

Salt water speeds up the rate of rust. Seaside houses often have rusted fences and decorative iron work whereas the same iron work lasts much longer inland.


does rust have the same priorities as rust?

That doesn't make any sense rust is iron oxide


Will a lead pipe rust?

Lead won't rust in the same way as iron, a white oxide layer will appear overtime, but it won't break away as much as rust on iron.


Does sodium hydroxide rust the iron?

No. as rust is caused by the oxidation process of: O2+2H2O+4e = 4OH in sodium hydroxide the hydroxide is already present making it harder to form and therefore making rust harder to form. Sodium hydroxide is a rust inhibitor.


An iron fence is left unpainted and it reacts with the oxygen in the air forming rust The formation of rust is an oxidation-reduction reaction but it is also an example of aan?

An iron fence is left unpainted, and it reacts with the oxygen in the air, forming rust. The formation of rust is an oxidation-reduction reaction, but it is also an example of a(n) synthesis reaction. In general, if temperature of a chemical reaction increases, the reaction rate increases, decreased remains the same cannot be predicted increases.


Why doesn't a penny rust?

Because it is not made of iron. It does however oxidize (the same process as iron rusting). This copper "rust" is the darker brown colour that a penny acquires as it gets older.


Do objects of the same mass but of different shape fall at the same rate?

in a vacuum, yes, all objects would fall at the same rate, but otherwise no due to air friction


Rust and iron oxide are they same?

There are seven different types of iron oxide, all of which can be found in rust at some stage of the process. So the answer to your question is yes but there is a lot more to it than just that.


Can manganese rust?

Manganese itself does not rust, as rust is a form of iron oxide that occurs when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water. However, manganese can undergo oxidation and form its own compounds when exposed to certain conditions, but this is not the same as rusting.

Why isn't rusted iron as attracted to a magnet as non rusted iron?

Rusted iron, or iron oxide, does not contain the same magnetic properties as pure iron. The presence of rust creates a barrier between the iron atoms and the magnetic field, reducing the overall magnetism. Additionally, the rust itself is not magnetic, further decreasing the attraction to a magnet.


Why does rust weight more?

Rust is typically denser than the original iron or steel it forms from, which means it weighs more for the same volume of material. This is because rust has a larger molecular structure compared to iron, leading to an increase in mass.
