the nail rusts when exposed to air. Because When exposed to air, oxygen molecules attach to the nail, adding mass. The more mass something has, the more something weighs.

Answer. Since iron gains oxygen when it rusts, and the iron from the nail won't have gone anywhere, it will weigh more than it did before.
