Day 5


Day 5
The colour of the solutions have stayed the same, however yesterday rust came off of the nail and floated in to the bottom of the solution when I was taking observations. Today, it is noticed that new rust has formed however on the actual iron nail indicating that further rust has occurred. It is noticed that the nails in the 0.65M solution has rusted slight more than the nails in the other concentrations such as the nails in water. 



                                       An overview of the experiment and the solutions/nails



Comparison of the Iron nail immersed with 0M to the nail immersed in 0.65M: more rust can be seen to have  formed on the iron nail on the right (0.65M)
