Explanation:
Answer: The corrosion of iron indicates a chemical change in the metal. ... Where salt is present, electrochemical corrosion occurs, and the protective oxide film does not form, thus the corrosion (buildup of rust) continues unchecked. Your iron nail will indeed rust more quickly and severely in salt water.

Answer:
your question is really very good but you should give the name of the salt.
If this is a salt of an metal that is placed below the iron in the reactivity series then the iron will displace that metal from its salt and form its own salt.
E.g. when we put iron nail in the calcium sulphate solution then iron displaces the calcium from the calcium sulphate and forms iron sulphate.
