Because zinc in more massive than iron. This assumes that iron in in its 2(+) oxidation state.
When iron is mixed with zinc oxide and heated, a redox reaction occurs where the iron reduces the zinc oxide to form zinc and iron oxide. The temperature needed for this reaction is significantly higher than normal atmospheric conditions.
No, zinc oxide and iron will not react with each other under normal conditions. Zinc oxide is a stable compound and does not readily react with iron to form a new compound.
Iron reacts with steam to give iron(III) oxide, which is yellow when hot and white when cold.

The zinc oxide (ZnO) is the most used white pigment. Zinc (as metal) is used for plating iron alloys.
No, Florine is the most reactive element that is why it cannot exist in its original state and it is never never available in its original state Electonic cofiriguration:2,8,18,32,18,8,1. for more details contact me at deviprsd21@gmail.com
No, steel is generally heavier than brass. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with a density greater than that of brass, which is an alloy of copper and zinc.
That would be zinc oxide.
Pure metal is weaker than alloyed metal. ! and zinc oxide + Gold = zinc oxide + gold. !
Zinc can displace iron from iron chloride. This is because zinc is higher in the reactivity series than iron. Copper, however, cannot displace iron from iron chloride as it is lower in the reactivity series than iron.
Corrosive to what? What do you mean by corrosive? If you mean: "Can it be corroded", the answer is Yes. That is the sole reason for steel piping to be galvanised, that is: covered by a layer of zinc. Zinc is more electropositive than iron/steel, so would immediately react with any iron oxide that forms to regenerate the iron and itself become zinc oxide. For this reason zinc (unlike tin) is called a sacrificial, rather than protective, coating. You should be more specific as the first person who answered your question, said.
Zinc oxide reacts with metallic magnesium to produce magnesium oxide and metallic zinc.
