Glory Nail Rusting Experiment Conclusion

Since rusting is sped up by the presence of electrons salty water therefore will speed up the rusting process.

Nail rusting experiment conclusion. The thick layer of Chromium and Zinc on the galvanised steel slows the rusting as it prevents oxygen reaching the metal at least for a while. I think it will take one week for the iron to rust in the salt water. There is no rustlittle rust on the iron nail in test tube D.

Espeically galvanized nail lasts longer than coated mails. The acetic acid of the vinegar over time leaves the solution as a fume or vapor thats why you smell it. The finishes prevent iron nails from rusting.

The hypothesis was proved partially correct as the most corrosion was recorded with aluminium foil in vinegar though it did not apply to the other metals in vinegar. This video is a science experiment in which we want to know in which condition does the nail rust the fastestthis video is made by Kay Vanessa Raymond Nael. Galvanising using a more reactive metal such as zinc prevents the rusting of iron.

So now the vinegarwater solution has iron dissolved into it. It was also found that the inclusion of a common ion in solution can prevent the corrosion of the corresponding metal. Experiment involves the corrosion of nails in Coke lemon juice oil and water.

I think the iron will rust faster in the salt water than the fresh water and vinegar. The clorox had less oxygen than the vinegar or the water resulting in why the clorox showed less rust on the nail. Thus the rate of rusting was slowed down or the iron nail was even being protected from rusting.

Iron is susceptible to rusting. Since magnesium lost electrons to iron iron was prevented from losing electrons and could not form Fe2aq ions. It also caused more rust on the nail than the bleach and the water.
