Rusty Nails

 Aim: To investigate the factors that cause rusting in iron.


Equipment: Four test tubes, test tube rack, a bung, four iron nails, boiled water, tap water, saltwater, cooking oil, calcium chloride. 


Method: 1. Label four test tubes A - D and place them in a test tube rack.

               2. Test tube contents: A= Iron nail and tap water.

                                                  B = Iron nail and salty water.

                                                  C = Iron nail, boiled water, oil.

                                                  D = Iron nail and calcium chloride. Sealed with a bung.



Conclusion: Oxygen and water make metal rust quicker, If you seal of the oxygen it will rust slower.
