saltwater
Why do coins rust faster in saltwater than in freshwater?
Because salt is a corrosive chemical.
Why does iron rust faster in salt water than freshwater?
Because the ion chloride (Cl-) from salt is very corrosive.
Do pennies rust faster in saltwater or freshwater?
Rust iron mixes with oxygen. This happens when water comes in contact with iron because the water conducts the small amounts of current that randomly travel through iron. This in turn causes the hydrogen and oxygen to split and the oxygen is then free to bond with the iron. Salt adds more ions into the water making it a better conductor, so more current passes through producing more oxygen and therefore more rust. Distilled water will not cause rust because H2O alone is not a good conductor. However with experiments shown distilled water can cause rust on nails because it's properties however you shouldn't take my word for it because I'm just a yr12 chemistry student. This answer is partly wrong. The oxygen atoms in H20 do not split away from the hydrogen atoms to bond with the metal. The oxygen comes from other sources. There are actually dissolved gases present in the water. The metals obtain the oxygen from the oxygen gas that is dissolved into the water. Additionally, distilled water doesn't make metal rust because to distill water, you boil it away, and boiling water always boils away all dissolved gases that are present in the water. When there is no oxygen in the water the metal is in, it is impossible for rust to form.
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.
Will a coin rust faster in saltwater or freshwater?
In saltwater. In saltwater.

Does iron rust faster in vinegar saltwater or freshwater?
Zinc will corrode in vinegar faster than salt water
Can rust form on a vehichle under freshwater?
Yes. It actually rusts faster in water, because water is made one third out of oxygen, which you need to make rust. Saltwater rusts vehicles even faster than freshwater does. Cars near the coast get more rust than cars in inland parts of the country.
Which water rust a coin faster salt or fresh water?
salt will rust the coin faster thanfresh water
Does steel rust in saltwater?
Yes, it actually rust's faster than in normal water.
Why houusehold door hinges rust more in the Atlantic provinces of Canada than the rest of Canada?
The saltwater air causes things to rust faster than non-saltwater air.
How does the difference in concentration of saltwater affect the oxidation of a metal?
The more saltwter will make it rust faster.
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.
How long would saltwater rust a nail?
Saltwater can cause a nail to rust relatively quickly compared to freshwater, usually within a few hours to a day, due to the high concentration of ions in the saltwater which accelerates the oxidation process on the metal surface.
