Beautiful Experiment On Rusting Of Iron Nails
AIM In this project the aim is to investigate effect of the metals coupling on the rusting of iron.
Experiment on rusting of iron nails. Bend one of the nails at a 90 angle using two pairs of pliers. In this reaction free iron Fe is oxidized to Fe2 and Fe3 ions. Iron and steel rust when they come into contact with water and oxygen.
Allow the testtubes to rust for two weeks. The purpose of the practical is for students to subject the nails to differing conditions and after time look at how much rust appears on each nail. They can then determine what conditions are required in order for iron to rust.
Each boiling tube holds a nail in water salty water water with oil on top or just oil. Metal coupling affects the rusting of iron. 2 reacts with water to form OH- ions.
An aqueous solution of detergent or some acetone can be used to degrease the iron nails before the experiment. Rusting of iron refers to the formation of rust a mixture of iron oxides on the surface of iron objects or structures. This science experiment is all about controlling variables to explore which material will rust an iron nail.
In the case of iron rusting the new compound is called iron oxide also known as rust. After two weeks mesuare the change in the mass of each nail. Clean iron nails should be used.
Do not use. My conclusion is that my hypothesis partially correct. The rusting of iron usually is considered to be a destructive change and considerable time and money are expended to prevent it.
