-->Yes, in most cases. This poses, however, strong arguements both ways.
Think of the rust as a seed--where the O2 finds the host ion molecular structure(salt, acid) often concentrated to an area in which to assist a Red-Ox reaction on the Fe(Iron) content of the steel-->Fe Ni Mn .
However, in any assessment-"Quantitative" or with simple "Logical-Assumptions".. your answer remains completely "Dependent" upon the "Margin of Uncertainty".
Like for instance, assuming the material is poor-quality steel, a "rust seed" consisting of a drop of salt water(wet/dry) on the bare nail surface would differ drastically from a vinyl or coated nail having a clean drop of distilled water present.
In your case it is likely that the present rust will be a contaminant concentrated in the rust and therefore remains much more rusting to go.
Ok, hope that helped! P.S. --> Both "Rust" and "Steel" are good key words for Wikipedia searches of this kind. Which I basically rewrote the page there. Included below is not mine except for the end...

Galvanized- treated for resistance to corrosion and/or weather exposure : :* Electrogalvanized - provides a smooth finish with some corrosion resistance :* Mechanically galvanized - deposits more zinc than electrogalvanizing for increased corrosion resistance :* Hot-dip galvanized - provides a rough finish that deposits more zinc than other methods, resulting in very high corrosion resistance that is suitable for some acidic and treated lumber; often easier to bend than other types of nails,
:* (MajorUtah) -->and from my experience, I'll assure you that in the long run Galvanized, though intrinsically designed soft to frustrate worker, proves superior in both corrosion (Red-Ox) and over all slip or "work out" time.. eg; a vinyl coated nail has great corrosion resistance, until your hammer strikes the head and exposes the bare material} { and a rough galvanized finnish will firmly grab the surface of the wood..--

What liquid can rust a nail the most?
Water and air in combination will rapidly cause iron to rust.
What will rust a nail the fastest?
Moisture and oxygen in the air are the main factors that contribute to rusting in nails. High humidity levels can accelerate the rusting process as it provides more moisture for the oxidation of the iron in the nail. Exposing the nail to salty or acidic environments can also speed up rust formation.
How fast a nail will rust by water?
This really depends on the concentration of impurities in water. More the impurities, faster it will rust the iron nail. To reduce rusting of any iron the best way is to paint the nail.
What type of liquid make a nail rust?
Water is the most common liquid that can cause a nail to rust due to the presence of oxygen and moisture, which triggers the oxidation process on iron in the nail. Other liquids that are acidic or contain salts can also accelerate the rusting process.
What chemical property is shown when rust forms on a nail?
When rust forms on a nail the dark brown colour is the characteristics of rusting.
What cause a nail to rust in water?
The oxygen in the water reacts with the metal in the nail - forming metal oxide (rust)
Why does water cause a nail to rust?
Because of chemical reaction

What makes a nail rust in distilled water?
The dissolved oxygen in the water reacts with the nail to form rust.
What happens when you put a nail in a glass of water and leave it aside for 2 hours?
The nail will start to rust due to exposure to water and oxygen. Rust is a chemical reaction called oxidation, where the iron in the nail combines with oxygen in the presence of water to form a new compound. This process can cause the nail to weaken and eventually corrode over time.
Will a nail rust faster in soil or water?
A nail will rust faster in wet soil than water, but if the soil is not wet , the nail will rust faster in water. I hope this answers your question. Bye, Annette Pfohl
