The Corrosion Expirement

Hello, guys today blogging about a science experiment that we did this week, I was with my friend Khush while doing the experiment so we have to have like 5 test tubes that we need to use and like there is a letter from A to D. We have to put an iron nail in each test tubes and put like salt but not in the same test tube.

 Corrosion:

When metals are exposed to the environment they can deteriorate, or break down. Scientists call this process corrosion, Rust is the term used to describe the corrosion of iron.


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

Equiptment: Four test tubes, test tube rack, a bung, four iron nails, boiled water, tap water, salty water, 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 chlorides. Sealed with a  bung.

3. Leave the test tubes undisturbed for at least three days.
