प्रश्न
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?

उत्तर
Metal P is Zn (zinc), Q is Sn (tin), R is Pb (lead) and S is Fe (iron).
We arrive to the following conclusion:
Metal P (zinc) is used to form a thin layer on metal S (iron). The process of thin coating of zinc layer on iron objects is called galvanisation. This thin coating of zinc layer on iron objects protects it from corrosion (zinc is a highly reactive metal. It does not rust even in moisture because it forms a thin coat of zinc oxide on reacting with air).
Metal Q (tin) is used for electroplating tiffin boxes made of metal S (iron). This tin coating prevents the corrosion of iron. However, tin coating provides only outside protection.
Metal R (lead) is used in making car batteries. Metal Q (tin) and metal R (lead) are combined together to form an alloy called solder.

| 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. |
