No unbound oxygen in a T. rex? This keeps getting better.3 guesses at what the O in H2O stands for.We are talking microscopic amounts. The oxygen in a T. rex body is plenty needed for oxidation.Put raw iron outside for a week and tell us what happens
Put raw iron in a bucket of oil and leave it for 1000 years, there will be no rust. Rust needs oxygen.
No, likely since the creature died, there was very little oxygen in its body.
You actually think that the the bound oxygen in water causes rust?
Do you understand how rust forms? An unbound oxygen molecule binds to the iron molecule. It cannot do that if it is already bound to hydrogen.
The reason iron will rust in water is because there is unbound oxygen in water. That's how fish live.
