Salt speeds rust’s redox reaction along by making water a better conductor.

I found it interesting that corrosion costs the U.S. $276 billion annually.

a good coating of paint removes the connection between anode and cathode by preventing water from making contact with steel because without water, rusting slows down.

A redox reaction needs an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte solution.

Rust is actually a chemical bargain with two reaction in one

By putting energy into

rust, it’s possible to plate metal back onto a reaction for these metals, so they won’t cor-

rode spontaneously

One way to stop irons thermodynamic conversion would be to make cars out of gold or silver. We just can't b/c of the price and the soft metals wouldn't be able to support the cars weight.

The better the conductor, the quicker the oxidization of iron happens

Iron doesn't hold onto its electrons very tightly, making it the perfect anode for an electrochemical reaction to take place.

I thought it was interesting that there is protective coating that you can buy to help prevent rusting.

A high abundance of salt speeds up the rust's redox reaction because it allows the anode and cathode to be in touch better.

An anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte solution are required in the formation of rust.

I found out rust is two reactions in one, reduction, in which some atoms gain electrons, and oxidation, in which other atoms lose electrons.

I thought it was interesting how rust happened faster on the coast and up north because salt acted as a catalyst
