उत्तर
Rust is formed by oxidation of iron in air in presence of moisture. The main constitutent of rust is Iron(III) oxide [Fe2O3.xH2O] which is a metallic oxide. Hence, all metallic oxides are basic in nature. Therefore, a suspension of rust is basic in nature.

| 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.
