So i did an experiment and pu tiron nail into water and serveral days later it starts to rust.
and i looked at the book and the chemical process is
1)Fe loses electron
2) that electron + oxygen + water produces hydroxide
3) hydroxide and Fe ion reacts and form Fe(OH)2, green rust
4) green rust + oxygen become red rust + water
but i don't know why it is red rust that is formed on the nail. If the pH level is low will it becomes red rust or stays at green rust?
THX!
