Abstract:
Paper clips are made of steel, an iron alloy that readily oxidizes in the presence of moisture and oxygen, resulting in rust.
How to explain
This project investigates the factors affecting the rate of rusting of paper clips. We will explore the effects of various variables, such as humidity level, temperature, presence of salt, and surface area, on the rusting process.
The experiment will involve exposing paper clips to different controlled environments and monitoring the formation of rust over some time. Data collected will be analyzed to identify the factors that significantly impact the rate of rusting.
The goal of this project is to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that govern metal oxidation and to contribute to the development of better strategies for preventing rusting in everyday objects.
