Different nails were treated with oil, paint, zinc, magnesium or left untreated, then tested with indicators - potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) which turns blue in the presence of iron(II) ions and phenolphthalein which turns pink in the presence of hydroxide ions, to observe which treatments prevented or reduced rusting.
