Water is the most abundant nutrient in our body and plays an important transmission function in every body cell and tissue. Sixty percent of our body weight is water. The fact that you can live without food for a long period of time, even months, but live only for a few days without water is true.
The addition of zinc, a sacrificial anode, would prevent the iron metal from corroding. According to the table of Standard Reduction Potentials, the standard reduction potential of zinc is about -0.76 volts. The standard reduction potential of iron is about -0.44 volts.
A. Actually brass doesn't rust, Caren :-). Iron is an element (Fe). And rust is defined as the iron oxide corrosion products of the corrosion of iron. So if something does not contain iron (Fe), it cannot produce iron oxide, so it cannot rust.Steel is iron-based and it rusts; the rest don't.That does not mean the other metals can't tarnish or corrode, though.In fact, all metals except precious metals like gold and platinum corrode to some degree. It's just that it's not called rust. If you scratch the lead you will see that it stays bright only for a little while and then tarnishes. chose copper, lead, steel, aluminum, zinc, iron, and brass. I pretty sure that 4 of those don't rust (copper, lead, aluminum, and zinc) and 2 do (iron and steel) but I'm not sure if brass does.
