what will happen if I put the nail in salt water
Answer (1)
If you put a nail in salt water, it will rust faster than in regular water. This is because salt water is a better conductor of electricity, which speeds up the chemical reaction between the iron in the nail, water, and oxygen in the air. This reaction forms iron oxide, or rust.Why this happens:Iron (from the nail) reacts with oxygen (from the air) and water.Salt (sodium chloride) in water speeds up the reaction by helping ions move more freely.This leads to faster corrosion, or rusting.
