What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?
oxidation takes place (rusting)
Why is galvinising used?
to protect iron (or other metals from rusting).
What is the use of anhydrous calcium chloride in the experiment of rusting of metals?
Calcium chloride is a water absorbant.
Do salt and acid act as a catalyst in rusting metals?
Salt acts as a catalyst. Acid tends to be a reactant.
Can Other than zinc what metals are used to prevent rusting?
Iron can be coated with copper, but it is 3 times the cost
What elements undergoes rusting?
Most of the metals will oxidize, but the only one for which that process is called "rusting" is iron.
Why do metals have to be sandpapered from time to time?
To avoid rusting
How does salt affect the rusting away of metals?
Bob
How can you change the environment for rusting metals?
You can reduce the air humidity is less oxidizing metals.
What do metals do when they combine with non metals like oxygen?
oxidation takes place (rusting)
What are some rusting material?
Different types of Metals such as Steel.
Why is galvinising used?
to protect iron (or other metals from rusting).
What chemical property is responsible iron rusting?
Rusting of iron is caused by water in the presence of oxygen.
How does living near the sea contribute to rusting?
Near the sea exposed metals have a greater exposure to salts, which accelerate the rusting process.
Will oxygen rust?
No. Rusting is a process exclusive to metals, particularly iron.
Which metals can be used to protect iron from rusting and how?
Try covering it in Zinc
How are metals treated to prevent them from rusting?
Metals are prevented from rusting by providing a coating on the surface of the metal to stop the metal from mixing with oxygen and H2O in the air. Please do not copy this word for word. I am handing this in for a report. Thanks!
