Question
Why do we apply paint on iron articles?
Advertisements
Solution
Iron articles are painted to prevent them from rusting. When left unpainted, the metal surface comes into contact with atmospheric oxygen and, in the presence of moisture, forms iron(III) oxide. But if painted, the surface does not come into contact with moisture or air, thus preventing rust.

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?
