Question

Can rusting of iron take place in distill water ???

Answer 1

Distilled water can readily absorb oxygen from the atmosphere when compared to normal tap water (since tap water will already have dissolved impurities in it). This will as a result help in rusting. So yes, rusting of iron can take place in distilled water

• Distilled water can readily absorb oxygen from the atmosphere when compared to normal tap water.
• This helps in rusting. So yes, rusting of iron can take place in distilled water.
