प्रश्न
Explain why rusting of iron objects is faster in coastal areas than in deserts.
Advertisements
उत्तर
- Both air and moisture are required for rusting to take place. In coastal areas, the quantity of moisture present in the air is greater than that in deserts.
- The amount of moisture in the air is even lower in desert areas. Therefore, iron objects rust faster in coastal areas than in deserts.

What are alloys?
Explain how painting of an iron gate prevents it from rusting.
A metal X which is resistant to corrosion is produced by the electrolysis of its molten oxide whereas another metal Y which is also resistant to corrosion is produced by the reduction of its oxide with carbon. Metal X can be used in powder form in thermite welding whereas metal Y is used in making cathodes of ordinary dry cells.
- Name the metals X and Y.
- Which of the two metals is more reactive: X or Y?
- Name one ore or metal X. Also write its chemical formula.
- Name one ore of metal Y. Also write its chemical formula.
- Name one alloy of metal X and one alloy of metal Y.
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?
Explain with reason:
Roasting is carried out on sulphide ores and not on carbonate ores.
