प्रश्न
A common metal which is highly resistant to corrosion is:
(a) iron
(b) copper
(c) aluminium
(d) magnesium

उत्तर
(c) aluminium
Aluminium is resistant to corrosion due to the formation of a thin oxide layer (aluminium oxide or Al2O3). This prevents further corrosion by creating a strong protective layer over the surface of the metal.

Electroplating
The process of coating the surface of the metal with a thin layer of zinc is called ______
| 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. |
