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.

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a rusty-brown solid A are mixed with the powder of another solid B. However, when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products C is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product D floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.
