Will using vinegar to clean your metal pipe make it rust?
Yes, using vinegar to clean a metal pipe can potentially cause it to rust. Vinegar is acidic and can corrode certain metals, leading to rusting over time. It's better to use a cleaner specifically designed for metal surfaces to avoid this issue.
How are metals treated to prevent them from rusting?
Metals are prevented from rusting by providing a coating on the surface of the metal to stop the metal from mixing with oxygen and H2O in the air. Please do not copy this word for word. I am handing this in for a report. Thanks!
What is the name of slow oxidation reaction involving metals?
corrosion (in iron this is called rusting)
The process of combining iron with other metals to create a lightter non rusting materials was discovered by?
Henry bessemer
Can halogen rust?
No, halogen elements like fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, and astatine do not rust because they are nonmetals and do not undergo the rusting process that typically affects metals like iron. Halogens are highly reactive in other ways, but rusting specifically applies to the oxidation of metals.

What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.
How can you change the environment for rusting metals?
You can reduce the air humidity is less oxidizing metals.
Why do metals have to be sandpapered from time to time?
To avoid rusting
What is vinegar metal or nonmetal?
Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.
What are some rusting material?
Different types of Metals such as Steel.
How does living near the sea contribute to rusting?
Near the sea exposed metals have a greater exposure to salts, which accelerate the rusting process.
Which metals can be used to protect iron from rusting and how?
Try covering it in Zinc
Will oxygen rust?
No. Rusting is a process exclusive to metals, particularly iron.

Do magnets rust in vinegar?
Acids (including dilute acids such as vinegar) are reducers- they will corrode metals. Vinegar may cause accelerated corrosion while (due to high water content) also oxidising (rusting) metals which are prone to oxidation. To accelerate the oxidation of metals, you require a stronger oxidising agent. However, using a dilute acid may enhance the oxidation process in metals which galvanise. Some metals do not 'rust' as they develop a protective oxide layer when exposed to oxidising agents, or metal parts which can rust may contain or be coated with such a metal - types of steel, for instance. An acid may corrode the galvanising layer or metal, allowing the more vulnerable metal to continue oxidation.
Will lemon juice and vinegar corrode metals?
Yes - many metals but not all.
