Solution
a. corrosion: Corrosion is a process where the water or the moisture on the surface of the metal oxidizes with the atmospheric oxygen.
b. Methods of prevention (any two each carry 1/2 mark) 1
1. Galvanizing 2. Anodization 3. Tinning
4. Electroplating 5. Alloying
c. Anodization
d. In this process cupper, aluminum are coated with a thin layer of their oxides by means of electrolysis. For this copper or aluminum article is used as anode. It obstructs the contact of the aluminum or copper with oxygen and water.

| 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. |
