    The document summarizes three experiments on nail corrosion. In the first experiment, using rock salt and cotton in a closed bottle prevented corrosion. In the second, some rust formed in a closed bottle with boiled water due to submersion, but boiling reduced oxygen. In the third, the most rust formed in an open bottle with distilled water, as exposure to air accelerated corrosion compared to the sealed experiments.

    water

    During this point, this As per observation, the


    set-up has the most rusts most rusting occurs in
    among the set-ups. this set-up and has
    become more obvious
    than it was before.

    Interpretation:

    In the first set-up (closed bottle with rock salt and cotton), it was observed that among
    the set-ups, it was the only one which did not undergo corrosion or rusting. This manifestation was
    accomplished due to the fact that, aside from being hermitically sealed, this set-up contains rock salt by
    which absorbs water in the air. The cotton also helps in absorbing moisture as well as serving as a spacer
    between the nail and the salt in order to avoid unwanted reactions.

    In the second set-up (closed bottle with cooled boiled water), there was a rusting
    observed despite the fact that it was also sealed. This happened because the nail was submerged in a
    water. However, the water used has undergone boiling which also means that it loses oxygen. This
    decreases the rusting factors of the nail thus, slowing the corrosion rate of the nail.

    Lastly, the third set-up (open bottle with distilled water) exhibited the most rusting
    among the set-ups as the nail was subjected to an open set-up while being submerged in a distilled
    water. Unlike the other set-ups, this set-up has no seal or cover, allowing the water molecules in the air
    and other extraneous factors to take part in the set-up. Moreover, the water used in the set-up has not
    undergone boiling. All of these, on contrary to the other set-ups, increases the rusting factors of the nail
    thus, accelerating the corrosion rate of the nail.
