I know the answer is the rust should way more than the nail it came from but can someone explain why please!

koa is right! :D
TYSM!! KOA I GOT 100%
also it says correct for me so you probably just clicked the wrong answer.
traveler then to make sure you get a good grade don't cheat, cheating like this you never know if your gonna get a good or bad grade. don't complain about it.
Rust is Fe2O3.xH2O
So rust is the combined weight of the iron nail you started with PLUS the weight of the oxygen added PLUS the weight of the water added.
