Which liquid takes the longest to make a nail rust?
|
+++++++
Hi, student - USA +++++++ Try motor oil, Savannah.
+++++++ I am doing a science fair project on rusting nails. I am going to place one nail in four jars each containing different liquids, water, saltwater, bleach and vinigar. The results will be evaluated by weighing each nail every day for 4 weeks and recording the results. My question is, should I cover the jars or not? Will it have any effect on how fast they rust? Thank You.

That's why they smell sharply.
