i'm going to do a project called 'which metals will be effected by salty water?' can you tell me what grade project this is, because i want to do like a 6th or 7th grade project although i'm in 5th grade? can you please explain this to me in some easier words?

I am about to do an experiment involving the rusting of nails.
Can you tell me of an unusual way to rust nails?
I will be using 4 test tubes.
One will have a galvanized nail and the rest will be regular iron nails.
Thanking you,
John

1 Do you think iron would rust slowly, quickly, or at all in distilled water?
2 I am doing an experiment trying to find out in what type of water iron would rust the fastest; we are doing so with iron nails and salt water, tap water, and distilled water... should I leave the iron nails in the water the whole time, or occasionally remove them from the water?
3 How long do you think an experiment like this would take?

Wait, so are there any other substances (other than steel or iron) that can have rust grow on it?
And does the original way of using baking soda and vinegar actually take off 100% of the rust on any substance?

wait so the scientific name is oxidation?

why is it that only metals experience corrosion? what is it about their structure that makes them experience corrosion?

Well robbi i think it is because there is more area for the water and oxygen to get to create more rust. Nick Rodriguez 8th grade

1. How does chemical change take place(from metal+water+oxygen = rust)?
2. Why does the metal rust more when the plating is scratched?

i heard that heat and sand get rid of rust or just keep scrub it the rust with warm water and then i think that should do it.

I know the answer to some of these Q's:
1. No, It's not bad for you.
2. I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
3. No, the gas in it is CO2, (Carbon Dioxide) the fizziness does nothing unless the Coke is mixed with O2. (Oxygen)
4. Copper, iron and steel rust orange/red because that is how the oxygen mixes with the metal.
5. Paint and oil are great substances for prevention of rust.
6. It depends how much O2 is in the air that you put the rusting metal in.

Editor's reply: thanks for all those answers to your fellow readers' questions! i have heard about Demodicids, mites that live in hair follicles, particularly, eyelash roots. they prefer people who use a lot of makeup and don't wash it off regularly! but that's a whole other article!
