I will try my hardest to answer this question because i have just done a question like this in my GCSEs.
Because tap water is not as strong as salt water the nails coating (or outside) reacts slower. But because salt water is stronger and contains more density, it takes away more coating (or outside) quicker, as the nail reacts.
thats all i can say!
What else can I help you with?
Does a nail rust faster when the air is damp or dry?
A nail will rust faster in damp air because moisture accelerates the corrosion process by providing the water and oxygen needed for rusting to occur. Dry air slows down the rusting process by limiting the availability of water and oxygen.
What makes iron rusts in distilled water?
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
Is iron nail rusts in water a chemical change or a physical change?
Chemical change, oxygen binds with iron.
Does an iron nail gain mass or lose mass when it rusts (a form of burning)?
When an iron nail rusts, it gains mass. This process involves the chemical reaction between iron, oxygen, and moisture in the environment, resulting in the formation of iron oxide (rust). The added mass comes from the oxygen in the air and water that combine with the iron, leading to an increase in the total mass of the rusted nail. Thus, the overall mass of the nail increases as it rusts.
Factors that promote rust?
An iron material can easily rust in the presence of air and water. For example if an iron nail is half dipped in water and the rest of the nail is open in the presence of air then the nail can easily rust.
What rusts faster penny nail or paperclip?
a penny
Does an iron nail rust faster in salt or tap water?
An iron nail will rust faster in saltwater than in tap water. This is because saltwater is conductive and accelerates the rusting process by promoting the flow of electrons between the iron nail and oxygen in the water.
Which water rusts an iron nail the fastest?
Salt water.
Which liquid bleach or vinegar will make a nail rust faster?
i think vinegar will make a nail rust faster because vinegar will makes the mental with iron in them.
Does bleach rust a nail faster than salt water?
Bleach rusts faster i know this because I did a science experiment on this and bleach was first to begin first
What kind of liquid will rust a nail faster?
vinegar
Which liquid vinegar coke orange juice or water would rust the nail faster?
The liquid that would rust the nail faster would be coke, as it is acidic and can accelerate the rusting process. Vinegar could also speed up the rusting due to its acidity, while orange juice and water would not have as strong of an effect on rusting.
Will nail rust quicker in vinegar or water?
water
Does a nail rust faster when the air is damp or dry?
A nail will rust faster in damp air because moisture accelerates the corrosion process by providing the water and oxygen needed for rusting to occur. Dry air slows down the rusting process by limiting the availability of water and oxygen.
Do nails rust faster in tap water salt water or vinegar?
Nails will rust faster in salt water compared to tap water or vinegar. Salt water contains electrolytes that accelerate the rusting process by increasing the conductivity of the water. Vinegar, on the other hand, is slightly acidic and might slow down the rusting process by forming a protective layer on the nail's surface.
What makes iron rusts in distilled water?
An iron nail will rust slowly in distilled water when that water has dissolved oxygen. If you get rid of the oxygen by boiling and keep it from getting back in then the iron nail will not rust at all.
What is the plural of rust?
The plural of rust is rusts. As in "a nail left in the open rusts easily".
