Write three methods of preventing rusting of iron.
Advertisements
Solution
Three methods of preventing rusting of iron:
A. Galvanizing: It is a process of giving a thin coating of zinc on iron or steel to protect them from corrosion, E.g. shiny iron nails. pins etc.
B. Rusting of iron can be prevented by coating it with paint, oil, grease or varnish.
C. Tinning: In this process thin layer of tin is coated over iron objects.

In one method of rust prevention, the iron is not coated with anything. Which is this method?
Explain why, though aluminium is more reactive than iron, yet there is less corrosion of aluminium when both are exposed to air.
Explain why, the galvanised iron article is protected against rusting even if the zinc layer is broken.
A metal X which is resistant to corrosion is produced by the electrolysis of its molten oxide whereas another metal Y which is also resistant to corrosion is produced by the reduction of its oxide with carbon. Metal X can be used in powder form in thermite welding whereas metal Y is used in making cathodes of ordinary dry cells.

Bronze is an alloy of ______.
State under what conditions corrosion is faster ?
No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a 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.
(i) Based on the given information make an assumption about A and B and write a chemical equation for the chemical reaction indicating the conditions of reaction, physical state of reactants and products and thermal status of reaction.
(ii) Mention any two types of reactions under which above chemical reaction can be classified.
