Questions
Write two methods of preventing the rusting of iron.
State two ways to prevent the rusting of iron.
Advertisements
Solution 1
Methods of preventing the rusting of iron:
- By galvanizing: In this method a thin layer of zinc is applied on iron and steel.
- By painting: In this method paint is applied on the iron object so that its surface is not in direct contact with air and moisture.
Solution 2
Methods of preventing the rusting of iron:
- The rusting of iron can be prevented by painting, oiling, greasing or varnishing its surface.
- Galvanisation is another method of protecting iron from rusting by coating it with a thin layer of zinc.
