Nail Rusting Science Experiment
We had to investigate a number of ways that may prevent rusting.
The Tap water did nothing
The Saltwater rusted the nail pretty good
The Nail with boiled water and oil rusted a little bit
The Calcium chloride Nail with a bung did nothing
The Nail with zinc and magnesium did next to nothing
The Painted nail was pretty rusted
The Vaseline nail did nothing
The Nail with boiled water and oil rusted a little bit
The Calcium chloride Nail with a bung did nothing
The Nail with zinc and magnesium did next to nothing
The Painted nail was pretty rusted
The Vaseline nail did nothing
My conclusion is that the results are basically what I was expecting, and I don't think the nail with paint was sealed properly. The saltwater nail had the most rust on it and the Calcium chloride nail barely rusted, because Calcium chloride removes moisture and moisture and oxygen is needed to rust.
