Answer:
The iron nail will not rust if the water is first boiled before the experiment.
Explanation:
Rusting needs some special conditions. They are oxygen and moisture. Inside water, there’s enough moisture. But, when oil is poured on the upper layer of the water, and the water didn’t have any dissolved oxygen, then the oxygen is missing.
So, rusting is impossible. This principle is used in galvanizing. And, also metallic plating, where the outer layer of resistant metal saves the inner vulnerable metal from corrosion.
