Experiment description
This experiment demonstrates the conditions required for the rusting of iron. Iron nails are placed in different test tubes with air, water, calcium chloride, and oil to observe how oxygen and moisture affect rusting. By comparing the results, the experiment shows how humidity and protective layers can increase or prevent corrosion.
