Corrosion

उत्तर
- The process of slow degradation of the metals due to the attack of atmospheric gases, moisture, acids, etc. on the surface of metals is called corrosion.
- Iron reacts with moist air and a deposit of reddish substance (Fe2O3.H2O) is formed on it. This substance is called rust and the corrosion of iron is known as rusting.
- Carbon dioxide in moist air reacts with the surface of copper vessel. Copper loses its lustre due to formation of a greenish layer of copper carbonate (CuCO3) on its surface. This is called patination of copper.
- Various methods such as galvanizing, tinning, alloying, etc. are used to protect metals from corrosion.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a solid, A, are mixed with the powder of another solid, B. However when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products, C, is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product, D, floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.

| A process of forming a thick oxide of aluminium when aluminium is exposed to air. This coat makes it resistant to corrosion. Resistance can be improved by making a layer of oxide thinker. In this technique, the aluminium article is the anode, and the electrolyte is sulphuric acid. The anode reaction results in the formation of a black-coloured film of aluminium oxide on the anode. By putting appropriate dyes in the electrolytic solution, both coloured surface with the decorative finish is achieved. Kitchen articles like anodised such as pressure cookers, pans and frames of sliding windows are applications of this technique. |

- How can we make aluminium articles made resistant to corrosion?
- Name the technique used to coat the aluminium articles.
