उत्तर
The iron rust is formed due to Electrochemical reaction. Different regions on iron surface become anode and cathode.
Reaction on anode region :
`F_e(s) → Fe^(2+) (aq) +2e^-`
Reaction on anode region :
`O_2(g) + 4H^+(aq) + 4 e- → 2H_2 O (l) `
When Fe2+ ions migrate from anode region they react with water to form Fe3+ ions.
A reddish coloured hydrated oxide is formed from Fe3+ ions. It is called rust.
`2Fe_(3+) (aq) + 4H_2O(l) → Fe_2O_3 . H_2O(s) + 6H_+(aq) `
A way to prevent rusting (Marks should be given for complete process and correct answers)
Prevention by colouring with acrylic paints, Zn plating, galvanizing, anodizing, alloying etc.) (Any one way of prevention expected.)
