Question

Can rusting of iron takes place in distilled water ?

Open in App
Solution

Distilled water can readily absorb oxygen from the atmosphere when compared to normal tap water (since tap water will already have dissolved impurities in it). This will as a result help in rusting. So yes, rusting of iron can take place in distilled water, provided it is not a closed system.
