Write a chemical equation to show the process of corrosion of iron.

उत्तर
In corrosion, oxidation of iron takes place.
Fe (s) → Fe2+ (aq) + 2e−
Iron supplies electrons at the edge of the droplet to reduce oxygen from the air.
O2 (g) + 2H2O (l) + 4e− → 4OH− (aq)
Within the droplet, the hydroxide ions react with the iron(II) ions and iron(II) hydroxide is precipitated.
Fe2+ (aq) + 2OH− (aq) → Fe(OH)2 (s)
Rust is then quickly produced by the oxidation of the precipitate.
4Fe(OH)2 (s) + O2 (g) → 2Fe2O3 • H2O (s) + 2H2O (l)

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?

| 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. |

- How can we make aluminium articles made resistant to corrosion?
