Although metals might not get 'rustier' placing a metal in salt water will increase the speed that metals will rust.
This is because salt water contains minerals ions (i.e. Na+, Cl-) that increase the reactivity of the metal rusting. Metals rust by losing electrons to a contact fluid, i.e. air or water. Because of the ions in salt water there is a greater potential difference between the electon charge in the metal and the solution. This creates a simple kind of battery where the electrons will travel from the metal to the solution.
What else can I help you with?
Will salt water boil or will regular water boil?
Both salt water and regular water will boil. However, salt water will have a higher boiling point than regular water due to the presence of salt in the solution.
Which water freezes faster salt water or regular water?
regular water!:)
What is the independent-dependent variable when boiling regular water and salt water?
In an experiment comparing boiling regular water and salt water, the independent variable is the type of water used (regular water vs. salt water), as it is manipulated by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the boiling point of the water, which is measured to observe how it changes based on the presence of salt. The experiment aims to determine how the addition of salt affects the boiling point of water.
Can salt water conduct electricity better than regular water?
yes
What has no regular pattern or set melting point?
salt water
Why does seeds grow in regular water but not in salt water?
Seeds grow in regular water and not in salt water because regular water is more healthy than salt water.
Will salt water boil or will regular water boil?
Both salt water and regular water will boil. However, salt water will have a higher boiling point than regular water due to the presence of salt in the solution.
Which water freezes faster salt water or regular water?
regular water!:)
Do flowers grow better with salt water or regular water?
Regular water, salt water is likely to kill them (If it is very salty)
What is the difference between salt water and regular water?
SALTWATER# Relating to, consisting of, or containing salt water: # Inhabiting or occurring in seawater or salt water: # Done or used in salt water REGULAR WATERsimply the water you are drinking...Salt water contains salt. - Axxo
What makes an egg float salt water or regular water?
Salt water.
Why does salt water evaporate slower than regular water?
salt water evaporates slower than regular water because the salt makes it harder to boil and evaporate
A hypothesis for boiling salt water and regular water?
After boiled salt water, there will be some crystals left, but regular water will vaporize and left nothing.
Why did salt water freeze faster than regular water?
Salt water does not freeze faster than regular water... When salt is put in water, it stops the water from freezing, and it needs to be colder than usual.
Do raisins increase in size in salt water or regular water?
salt water because the raisins the salt expands the raisins
What do you produce when you mix salt into boiling water?
If you're talking about regular old table salt, then your answer is salt water--specifically boiling salt water.
What is the independent-dependent variable when boiling regular water and salt water?
In an experiment comparing boiling regular water and salt water, the independent variable is the type of water used (regular water vs. salt water), as it is manipulated by the experimenter. The dependent variable is the boiling point of the water, which is measured to observe how it changes based on the presence of salt. The experiment aims to determine how the addition of salt affects the boiling point of water.
