for a nail to rust it needs moisture and oxygen and when one of them is missing rusting cant take place so i hop it is clear. Answer: Rust forms on the surface of steel or iron when it oxidizes. This oxidation is a chemical reaction between the metal, oxygen, and water. In the reaction, the oxygen reduces the metal to ferric hydroxide or ferric oxide, which are orangish in color. The oxygen molecules could be drawn from the carbon dioxide in soda, but because of the time rust takes to form, very little would be formed by the time the carbon dioxide is depleted and the soda is flat. Also note that the nail would need to be iron or steel. Other metals, such as stainless steel, brass, aluminum or other alloys have various properties that reduce or eliminate oxidation, thus won't rust at all.

Because soda pop has preservatives that retard the rust process vs water which has nil.
