What else can I help you with?
What should we do to the iron to prevent rusting?
Keep it dry. Paint it Galvanize it
What is the metal used for galvanising iron?
It is the element zinc in its molten state that we dip iron or steel into to galvanize it.
What is the definition of the word galvanize?
To galvanize means that one is applying a protective layer of zinc on top of a product made of steel or iron. This prevents the steel or iron from rusting.
What protects iron from rusting if attached?
Paint or enamel can protect iron from rusting.
Does rusting of iron is a reaction of iron and nitrogen?
Oxidation (rusting) of iron metal is the reaction of iron and oxygen
What is the base metal for galvanised iron pipe?
The base metal is iron - the active metal is zinc (galvanized)
What is the best area of the periodic table to look for a metal that could be used to coat another metal to protect it from corrosion?
Zinc Oxide can be used to protect iron hulls from rusting.

Zinc Oxide can be used to protect iron hulls from rusting.
Why the rusting of an iron bar decrease the strength of the bar?
When rusting occurs, some of the outer metal converts to a crumbly iron oxide that doesn't have the same strength as the metal. The deeper the rusting goes into the metal , the weaker the bar will become.

Is metal rusting a physical change in matter?
Yes, metal rusting is a chemical change in matter. It involves the metal reacting with oxygen in the presence of moisture to form a new compound (rust), which changes the chemical composition of the metal.
Is zinc the only metal that galvanizes?
Sort of. Galvanization refers to the process of applying a coating of zinc to either steel or iron in order to prevent rusting. So, it isn't really the zinc that is galvanizes, per se, but zinc is the only thing used to galvanize the steel or the iron.
