प्रश्न
Why do we apply paint on iron articles?
Advertisements
उत्तर
Iron articles are painted to prevent them from rusting. When left unpainted, the metal surface comes into contact with atmospheric oxygen and, in the presence of moisture, forms iron(III) oxide. But if painted, the surface does not come into contact with moisture or air, thus preventing rust.

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?

| 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. |
- Name the anode and electrolyte used in this technique.
- How can we make aluminium articles made resistant to corrosion?
- Name the technique used to coat the aluminium articles.
