Give a brief account of corrosion.

उत्तर
Corrosion is the damage caused to the metal by the chemical reaction of air, water, and acids with the surface of the metal. Generally, reactive metals corrode easily, and non-reactive metals have good resistance to 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.
(i) Based on the given information make an assumption about A and B and write a chemical equation for the chemical reaction indicating the conditions of reaction, physical state of reactants and products and thermal status of reaction.
