im actually about to do an art project on this. ive been researching it and it says that if you apply a solution of half hydrogen peroxide half vinegar and a pinch of salt you should get a uniform thick layer of rust in about 5 min. heating the iron will make the reaction occur faster. in order to make it stay you need to apply a finish.
Water and exposure to oxygen. Salt solution and dilute hydrochloric acid vastly speed up the process.
dilute hydrochloric acid
wet it and leave in oxygen
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
Salt water does make nails rust faster than non-salted water, because when salt is added to water, it will rust the top layer of the nail, and then make the nail basically shed its top layer. Then the salt will rust that layer, and this process continues until the whole nail is rusted. Normal water can only really rust the top layer, and can't get to the rest of the nail.
This is an oxidation reaction.
any liquid that had hydrogen, oxygen and is moist (of course it will be moist) to rust it need all the materials above can make pennies rust remember rusting only applies to iron items. to preserve pennies you can store them in oil
Does iron nail rust faster insltor fresh water2. materials:two nail,two cup,salt water,fresh water,3. Hypothesis.I think that a nail rust faster in salt water because of the chemicals in the salt.4.

water and iron. Creating iron oxide aka rust.
Sea water can rust nails or other metals.
Fine iron filings
A nail made out of just iron will rust really fast if it is exposed to oxygen. Nails available now, are galvanized nail which has a coating of copper metal on the surface of iron nail. This slows down process of rusting. Exposing a iron nail to water and other acidic environment along with oxygen, can make a nail rust pretty fast.
i think vinegar will make a nail rust faster because vinegar will makes the mental with iron in them.
The salt in the water will speed up the iron nail because the chemicals in the salt water on the nail creates faded substances
coke will make it rust faster
It's not just saltwater that makes a nail rust, even water makes a nail rust. Rust is simply oxidation, it happens when oxygen comes into contact with something and creates a chemical reaction and creates "oxides". Iron + oxygen = Iron oxide (red rust on steel)
Iron present in the nail oxidizes in oxygen to form the iron oxides
It either cleans the nail, or makes the nail have rust.
Well I did and experiment for 30 days with 7up and an iron nail and it did not rust.
