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.

Four metals P, Q, R and S are all obtained by the reduction of their oxides with carbon. Metal P is used to form a thin layer over the sheets of metal S to prevent its corrosion. Metal Q is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S whereas metal R is used in making car batteries. Metals Q and R form an alloy called solder. What are metals P, Q, R and S? How have you arrived at this conclusion?
