Question

Why rusting of iron is faster in saline water than in ordinary water?

Answer 1

Water is the enabler of fast oxidation of iron so freshwater will also cause rust. However, salt water is a very good conductor (lots of dissociated ions) and so there are a number of electrolysis reactions that tremendously accelerate corrosion in salt water.

Saline water contains sodium chloride and/or a salt of magnesium or another alkali metal. The salt concentration measured in parts per million. Due to no of disassociated ions it conducts very well. There are number of electrolysis reactions that tremendously accelerate the rusting in salt water.
