What else can I help you with?
How does painting a metal surface stop it from corroding?
Usually you have to stop it corroding FIRST, then paint it to protect it.
How is sacrificial metal used in oil rigs?
Zinc or Aluminium anodes are often used to stop iron struts on oil rigs from corroding due to salt water.
What is one kind of an atom used to protect iron atoms from rusting?
Zinc atoms are commonly used to protect iron from rusting through a process called galvanization. When zinc atoms are attached to the surface of iron, they act as a sacrificial anode, corroding first instead of the iron, thus preventing rust formation.
What causes oil to get in the computer connectors in a car?
The slipery material in the electrical connectors is not oil. It is a silicon-based grease to protect the contact from corroding and helps to maintain optimum electrical continuity.
Which action changes the identity of the substance referenced running an electric current through copper burning wood breaking an ice cube melting gold?
All except the corroding of iron do NOT change the substance involved.
Corrosion of bicycle frame?
That'd be a chemical change, as steel/iron turns into iron oxide. Usually called rusting, or corroding.
Can metals that don't have iron develop rust?
Other metals can corrode, but the term rust is usually just refers to the product of corroding iron or iron alloys.
Is corroding metal a chemical change?
Yes, corroding metal is a chemical change because it involves a chemical reaction between the metal and substances in its environment, such as oxygen or water. This reaction causes a change in the composition and properties of the metal.
How does galvanised iron corrode?
Slowly, because the zinc galvanizing coating must corrode away almost completely before the iron can begin corroding.
Can you use olive oil on your trumpet valves?
I wouldn't they potentially could be corroding to your instrument
Is metal corroding chemical change?
Yes. When metal rusts the iron is changed into iron oxide. This type of change is called a redox reaction. The iron is oxidized, meaning is has lost electrons.
Does salt disolve objects?
Salt doesn't dissolve objects but the ion chloride has a corroding action on iron and alloys.
