How can you turn metal into rust?
Metal turns into rust when exposed to oxygen and moisture over time, a process known as oxidation. The oxygen in the air reacts with the metal's atoms to form a new compound, which appears as reddish-brown iron oxide, or rust. This process can be sped up by increasing the metal's exposure to water and oxygen.

How does cast iron respond to rust?
Rust is the oxidation of the cast iron. Oxygen in the air combines with the base metal to create the rust. The rust protects the metal underneath. Cast iron is not "reacting" to rust.

Does vinegar cause rust on metal surfaces?
No, vinegar does not cause rust on metal surfaces. Rust is caused by the oxidation of iron in the presence of water and oxygen. Vinegar, which is a weak acid, can actually help remove rust from metal surfaces.
