Question

Why does steel wool not rust when acetic acid is added to the aqueous solution with steel wool?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dry steel wool does not rust because of its microscopic oil coating. ... If the steel wool is too wet, the reaction will be less exothermic and yield less rust. This is because the acetic acid from the vinegar will react with the iron from the steel wool to form iron acetate and hydrogen gas.
