Do oil cause leaves to lose mass?
yes,as the oil in the leaves prevent it from taking in oxygen allowing it to loose weight due to lack of oxygen.
Does a nail rust in oil?
Nails can still rust in oil because oil does not prevent the exposure of the nail to air and moisture, which are the main causes of rusting. To prevent rusting, a nail would need to be completely sealed off from air and moisture.
How does oil have an effect on the corrosion of iron?
Oil coats the surface and excludes oxygen and water. Oxygen, particularly in the presence of water, reacts with iron and forms a mixture of hydrated ferric and ferrous oxides, which is called rust.
Why are alkali metals stored in oil and kerosene?
They are so reactive they even react with the moisture in the air. Storing under oil prevents this.
What happens to water plants if you add motor oil to their pot?
Adding motor oil to the pot of water plants can lead to serious harm, as the oil creates a film on the surface of the water that prevents oxygen from reaching the roots of the plants. This can suffocate the plants and eventually lead to their death. It is important to keep motor oil away from water plants to ensure their health and well-being.
