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!
How does vinegar light a bulb?
yes vinegar can. its better than uing lemons just saying :) i used this as a science project, lemon or vinegar. and vinegar seemed to be the best one. the light bulb light was the stronger with vinegar.
What is the name of slow oxidation reaction involving metals?
corrosion (in iron this is called rusting)
The process of combining iron with other metals to create a lightter non rusting materials was discovered by?
Henry bessemer
Is corrosion a chemical property or chemical change?
Corrosion, or rusting, is the oxidation of a substance, and therefore a chemical reaction. The most well known corrosion is the rusting of iron, in which the iron is oxidised by oxygen. Both metals and non-metals can therefore undergo corrosion, and it can be by any oxidising agent, and therefore not need be oxygen.
Rusting of metals is caused by?
Slow oxidation
What is vinegar metal or nonmetal?
Vinegar (acetic acid) can react with some reactive metals as alkaline metals.
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).
Do pennies rust in water vinegar and bleach?
A mixture of water, vinegar, and bleach is corrosive to most metals. If pennies are placed in it, the copper will oxidize. Rusting is a term only applying to the oxidization of iron, not other metals. The pennies will look a lot cleaner and the liquid will turn blue. If you leave the pennies in the mixture too long, holes may start to form in them.
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.
