What is happening when a nail rusts?
the iron combines with oxygen, forming iron III oxide, or Fe2O3
What are some ways a nail can undergo a chemical change?
The most obvious one is when it rusts. Rust is the oxidization of iron.
Is iron nail rusts in water a chemical change or a physical change?
Chemical change, oxygen binds with iron.
Explain why the mass of a rusted nail would be greater than the mass of the nail before it rusted Assume that all the rust is still attatched to the nail?
When a nail rusts, iron in the nail reacts with oxygen in the air to form iron oxide (rust), which has a greater mass than iron alone. As a result, the overall mass of the nail increases when it rusts because the mass of the iron in the nail combines with the mass of the oxygen in the air to form iron oxide.
Does an iron nail gain mass or loss mass when it rusts a form of burning?
When an iron nail rusts, it actually gains mass. Rusting is a chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and moisture, producing iron oxide (rust). During this process, the iron combines with oxygen from the air, which adds to the overall mass of the nail. While rusting is not a form of burning, it does involve an oxidation reaction similar to combustion.
What is the plural of rust?
The plural of rust is rusts. As in "a nail left in the open rusts easily".
What is a chemical reaction occurs?
a nail rusts
Why iron nail rusts remains attached to the nail?
because its a chemical reaction
What rusts faster penny nail or paperclip?
a penny
Is iron nail biodegradable?
No. Iron rusts but it is not biodegradable.
When a part rusts does it become Heavier or lighter in weight?
When a part rusts, it typically becomes heavier in weight because rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of moisture, adding weight to the original material.
Which water rusts an iron nail the fastest?
Salt water.
What changes occur when a nail rusts?
when a nail rusts it is because the nails are made of iron the rusts forms when the iron nail comes in contact with rain and oxygen at the same time which forms rust over time more water comes in contact with the nail and more rust is formed the word equation for this change: Iron+Water+Oxygen-->iron oxide(rust)+Hydrogen The chemical equation for this change 2Fe+H2O+O-->Fe2O3+H hope this helped
When a nail rusts does it get bigger or smaller?
As the rust expands the nail will get slightly bigger then reach a point when starts to disintergrate.
Is a nail still a nail after it rusts?
yes, it's just that the metal becomes a new compound. It wouldn't be metal anymore.
Where should you put a nail so it rusts quickly?
Outside on wet soil
What chemical reaction takes place when an iron nail rusts?
Rusting is an oxydation reaction.
