Corrosion of Nails Experiment
I am a tertiary student in Singapore and have a question about corrosion of nails in ferroxyl indicating solution (the contents are NaCl, potassium_ferricyanide
[affil link] and phenolphthalein
⇦ on
eBay &
Amazon [affil link]
). After the experiment, I found colour of greenish-blue and pink-red on the nails in the solution. What could have caused this situation? please advise... Thank you...
