Questions
Write two methods of preventing the rusting of iron.
State two ways to prevent the rusting of iron.
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.

Corrosion can be an advantage in some case.Explain ?
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.
