उत्तर
Corrosion of metals can be prevented by the following methods:
- Applying coatings: Metals are coated with oil, grease, varnish, or paint to prevent direct contact with air and moisture.
- Metal plating: Metals are plated with a non-corroding metal. For example, zinc plating (galvanization) is used to protect iron from rusting.

Give an example of a chemical reaction for the following situation:
Sound is produced
| 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. |
